Is there a cost for freedom? Does one group suffer, in order for another to go free? What is “freedom” anyway? Can we actually do what we want, when we want, how we want? Or is freedom just a lie we tell ourselves as we fit into someone else’s mold of who we should be? Whatever freedom is or whatever we think it is, there is a price. For example, in the African American community, the price for today’s freedoms were paid by the generation before. ( I’m really conflicted about this example. It’s just something about desiring the greener grass on the other side, rather than making the brown grass that you have greener) I digress. Anyway another example would be our military, who sacrifice theirs lives, their family, their limbs, and their sanity so that can have the freedoms of being American.

I used to tell my Godson, ” everything that’s free, ain’t always free!” When you’re given something, there is always an expectation that you will something back. Whatever it may be. The next few days we will discuss Freedom and what it means. Please share your thoughts. Sometimes I’m way off in what I’m thinking.

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! Every negative comment I have made about myself, I take it back! All the jokes I make about myself so that others won’t, I take it back. All the times I looked at someone else and put them above me, I take it bad. Every time I dislike someone who reminds me of me, I take it back.

In this journey of loving myself. I have to learn to love every part of me, unconditionally. It’s hard at times. If you have lived a life of putting others above yourself and putting yourself down, it’s hard to say you love yourself and truly mean it. Even saying the word love is kinda iffy. Because I say I love to others and I put them above me. So love only comes when someone needs me. Which is all discombobulated . . . But little by little and Day by Day start taking back those negative things you say to yourself and watch your life get better!!! I take back every negative comments I have said about myself and replace it with I love you more each day.

Daily Affirmations: Today is a magnificent day. I love me more than anything else. It’s okay to be in love with me. This love is not my ego or vanity or pride. It is true and unconditional love for me. I am open and receptive to only good. I live in a safe and secure world. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMySchoolWithLove #IBlessMyWorldWithLove

Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers! In everything I do, I always ask myself; Am I making a difference in someone’s life? Am I making a difference in my life? With teaching, sometimes it’s hard to tell. Even in ministry, it’s hard to tell. You keeping teaching the same thing over and over and the people/ kids keep making the same mistakes. Then one day the child/ person seems to self-correct and make good choices on their own. That’s give you enough to keep striving and teaching.

But I’m not satisfied with those small victories, I want to start seeing greater numbers being affected. I want to reach the world! Start children at an early age learning to choose right. It will carry with them as they get older. I hear stories from parents all over, how Simon the Self Control Seal helped their children make right choices. That has given me the strength to keep striving and pushing!

Daily Affirmations: Today is an Awesome day. I choose to feel good about myself. I am creating a wonderful world. People are always helpful. Life is joyful and easy. I am healthy, wealthy, comfortable, whole, and complete and I love myself. ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM. ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL. ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE. #IBlessMySchoolWithLove #IBlessMyWorldWithLove

Hello most Awesome and Wonderful World Changers!!!! I hope you are enjoying your MLK day!!! I was just thinking about the civil rights movement and all the work Dr. King did. I then realized that everyone is fighting for the right to be loved and to love themselves without having worry about if others approve. I believe the fight was for self approval. To approve of yourself makes it easy to approve of others. Everybody knows that when you hate someone, you are really hating that part of yourself that is just like that person you hate. Loving and approving yourself and all parts of yourself even the parts that  you don’t like will help us love others. Churches and preachers please stop preaching hate and start preaching love and acceptance and self-approval! That’s the dream I feel Dr. King spoke of. We are all created equal and that means we all need to learn to love ourselves and learn to love others even the seemingly unlovable !
