A New Year – A True You 2

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! Sometimes people will make you feel bad because you are loving yourself more. “You’re being selfish” as if that’s a bad thing. I don’t call it selfish, I call it worthy. You are worthy enough to make yourself happy rather than making everybody else happy while you’re miserable. In this new year, we are taking more time for ourselves. Don’t allow others to make you feel as if you don’t deserve happiness. You are worth it! Loving yourself is necessary!

A New Year – A True You

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!!!!! This week we are being true to ourselves! Doing only those things that show love to ourselves.I am choosing not to make new year’s resolutions and feeling bad because I let myself down. I am choosing to continue my journey of self- love and acceptance! I have started this journey last year and I plan on continuing.  When we learn to love ourselves, it seems that everything falls into place!

To Thine Own Self Be True!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!! Happy New Year!!!! The phrase “A New Year- A New You” has everybody in a frenzy trying to make changes in their life and starting things over. I don’t think that this is the best way to enter this new year. There are some things that you were working on from last year that you need to continue. And most of the new stuff you’re starting, you didn’t want to do anyway. That’s why my phrase is, “A New Year – A True You!” Let’s continue learning to love and approve of ourselves then the weight will drop, the smoking and drugs will stop, the creativity will come or whatever else you’re starting. Let’s just do no more resolutions. Instead resolve to know yourself better. Be true to who you are. Love your true self! Then you new year will be filled with success and  joy!!!!

IMANI = FAITH!!!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Habari Gani Everybody!!!Today is the New Year and the Last Day of Kwanzaa!!! It is befitting that we start the New Years with Imani which means Faith! I know you had an awesome time yesterday being creative and Eating all the food! Yesterday I got earmuffs for my gift! We had a breakfast Karamu! Fish, grits, bacon, hash browns, and eggs! Today let’s discuss our FAITH in God, Faith in ourselves, Faith in one another, Faith in our community and world. Then we allow faith and all the other principles of Kwanzaa to lead us for the rest of the year! Happy Kwanzaa!!!

KUUMBA = CREATIVITY!

Habari Gani!!!! Happy Kwanzaa!!!!! Today is the day of the great Karamu feast! Yayyyy!!!!!! Eat and be Merry!!!! Enjoy your family! Be creative and make a small gift to share with someone in your family!

When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade. Now that’s creativity! My grandmother used to call it “making due” with what you have. When the bed sheets became a curtain and then the curtain became a table clothe and the table clothe became a dress and then the dress became a napkin or a duster and then the napkin or duster became a part of the patch quilt blanket- that’s creativity! In this sense we are like God! He is the creator and he created us to be creative! Just like him! So today tap into the power that God has given you. Think of ways you can be creative. Take nothing and turn in into something!

NIA = PURPOSE!

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Happy Kwanzaa Y’all!! Habari  Gani!!!  This is our Kwanzaa greeting. It means What’s new? Or in our new ages slang What’s up? Sup? LOL! I hope you are truly enjoying spending more time with your family! I hope you are discussing and practicing the principals! Today’s principle is Nia which means purpose. Today go within and ask, “Who am I and what am I here to do?” You may need to meditate on this for a while. Then together as a family we should ask, “Who we are and what have we been created to do?” In everything you do, always ask yourself, “WHAT IS MY PURPOSE?”

UJAMAA = SUPPORT EACH OTHER

Posted on by dembysplayfulparables76

Today is the fourth day of Kwanzaa! I hope you enjoyed discussing working together yesterday! It would also been a great day to work together doing a community service project. Today we go inward and support ourselves by making our thoughts for us and not against us. “My thoughts about Life are for me! My thoughts about God are for me! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! All of my thoughts are for me!”

Support yourself in your thoughts, then you can support each other. Support each other mentally by being the shoulder to cry on, being the moral compass by which to direct the life of our young people, or just giving a word of encouragement. Support each other financially! Put your money where your mouth is. We need to start owning hotels chains, textile companies, banks, super market chains, etc. Now one thing I need to say. . . Black businesses if you want the support of your brothers and sisters, try being more professional and having a bit more customer service. You have to support yourself first by cleaning up your place, training your employees, preparing and budgeting!!! Then you also have to be willing to show support to others! Give back to the community that supports you!
