I absolutely agree , some wise person said if you have to go out wear your very best Sunday clothes . No one goes to a protest in their best clothes . Do they ? Xxx
I am an OLD White Woman of 70 years, and I AGREE! I am afraid for our family, friends and our nations people of Color! I love our diversity and the History lessons we receive from them! It is TIME for our people of WHITE COLORED SKINS to Show the WHITE NATIONALIST that WE, ALL THE PEOPLE of this Nation , show up and STOP those authoritarians and that WE support our Nations people, whether they are Citizens or not! THEY ARE a part of all of us and we WILL do all we are able to keep them safe ! I know I’m rambling but I’m so scared for our nation and our children! I will once again hit the streets against this autocracy! I pray and send light of angels ti protect those who have the energy to go out there every day!
Blame should be the last item on anyone’s to do list. Wise strategies, thoughtfulness, respect for others choices are incumbent on all of us. Unity in purpose is essential. Blessings for all however they choose to participate as democracy is the issue.
Hi Erika, I love it!!! AMEN to all you said. LIsten up white folks, we can learn a thing or two from the black folks who have had to fight for their freedom (which they still haven't got, by the way) since the end of the war. Slaves may have been set free, but the white men and women of the south especially, still see black people as less than. White people, get over yourselves and show some understanding. Stop judging and on that note, I best stop judging as well (very tongue in cheek).
I can attest that this is true. I previously worked in healthcare at a jail facility - and sometimes when I arrived to work - an overzealous corrections officer who didn't recognize me (a 5' 10" black woman wearing scrub clothes) would snap to alert to question my credentials and why I was there...the other officers would say, "oh, he's just an idiot..." but his level of anxiety could be dangerous in other circumstances. BTW it happened quite a few times over months, until he felt comfortable to grant me access to ENTER the jail! (not leaving or escaping!!) Something about me walking in the door triggered a reaction in him...
Love love love. There’s a whole lot of people who have never done anything who can step up and try to clean up some of our mess. And that ending prayer? Yes, please.
Hello Erika, another inspirational writing, that stirs emotions and compassion a gifted writer.
“Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable.
Every step towards the goal of justice, is a required sacrifice, suffering and struggle, the tireless exertion of passionate concern of dedicated individuals.” MLK.
I hope I quoted it right, for a long time since I read this quote that had a deep profound meaning for me.
This quote is so true to me today, sacrifice, suffering and struggles is what is clearly calling out to me.
The black and brown people have come to answer the call in history to fight for justice every time the toll bell rings.
But are the first to be quelled, by the higher authority. (justice)
I don't know when this is all over or if I shall see the end of the tyranny that came to us threw one man’s lust for women, money and power.
He shall never know the silence of a peaceful soul, for he is an evil treacherous predator, that preys on the weak, young, and uneducated. For everyone I do believe is a judgment day, it will come spiritually, or it will come like karma, like a thief in the night, that will wallow in his empty soul, like burning embers. EO
Thank you Erika for your insightful & thoughtful writing. Reading your prose always helps me think outside the box. Please keep on praying as my feeling is our nation’s crises & chaos is soon to go from bad to really ugly! And apparently we have to go there to get to the other side of just what I am not sure! Watching it all unfold is both fascinating & scary. And I agree each of us are free to choose how we participate in this journey ….no judgement…no guilt! Most important is we all choose to be there on the 14th in mind, body or spirit! Our combined prayers, energies & focus can change the course of events! ❤️
I have so much respect for you for sharing the hard truths. The only reporter I've seen detained by the police in LA was a young black reporter from CNN. My marching days are behind me but my Grandangels will be marching in three states on my behalf. We each support as we can. Please stay safe. You have more teaching to do.
Erika, can you look at the question if the Secretary of Defense is right that they have plans to invade Greenland and Panama and that maybe the distraction President Trump is looking for before the midterms? Thank you, Tom
Erika, I really love your writing and Lenormand readings. Your voice is so powerful!
In all this chaos and ridiculousness it’s your YouTube channel that I turn to for peace. It’s like the warm embrace of a lifelong friend who knows and loves you - warts and all. The one that will tell it like it is - with love - but pulling no punches. Thank you for being you - I’m so grateful I found your channel! ❤️❤️❤️

There are so many ways for one's voice to be raised. We must each find our own way. 🙏🏻

" We are no less dangerous because we appear to be at rest."
I know this statement to be true.
Out of sight ,out of mind can be a powerful tool in the world of getting things done.
Have we not witnessed this of the GOP, Miller,Thiel,Yarvon,Vought ,the quiet behind the scenes dismantling of America?
I loved your post. Your Warrior energy is alive and well! It's about time we white folks did something besides clutch our pearls.
