Journeys of a DC Native**

I have yet to become highly publicized but it's quite alright knowing that I am important enough to share information to those who want to listen and learn. These are the fine points of living in a world sometimes unkind to those who won't cooperate w/it! I enjoyed my Mother's Day so very much not so much because I am a mother but the fact that I was able to make someone else happy in the interim! My mother and a few others that I won't divulge name because of their love of privacy. People don't realize that we as the human beings we are supposed to be are responsible for each other, not too tear down but to hold up and love as long as it takes to rekindle some form of self-love again in our lives. Loving oneself does not come with the territory,many loose themselves because of bad relationships or just the fact of unhealthy ones. This doesn't mean that we are relegated to live out our existence loveless but apparently taking pains to include those who will balance and enhance us as we do the same for them. Young adults could take some pointers from those of us who have paved the way on relationships,everyone has them no matter how platonic or expressive they may become,our living journey depends upon this scenario. We engage and learn from birth the meaning of sharing and needing someone other than self to make experiences complete on the platform that we all share as soon as we take our first breathe. To all who begin the trek to learn and pursue your purpose I applaud the efforts that will be your own personal truth and no one but you can perform this but you! Whether you are spiritual or are connected to organized religion your purpose is yours the choice to embrace it or reject it comes from your will to dream the imossible dream and make it manifest upon the UNIVERSE.. In Our Own Times~

But we don't seek the knowledge that would put us in control of our destinies for because of lack of faith ,motivation,being afraid of change ,ignorance and the number one of all,peer pressure. It is ironic sometimes still we will listen to someone in our circle of friends who don't have a clue about a dream and will discourage you if you say something or reveal a vision that you may have.I seriously believe that everyone is not deemed appropriate to speak out on your life and a lot of times certain matters should be kept private a long with pertinent info we sometimes want to divulge just to get a comment or a response from someone other than self.There are people out there just like Haters that there sole purpose on earth is to tell you what you can't do.I say that is preposturous when we a race can do whatever and obtain whatever we choose,all it takes is iniative and a plan,sure Money and Capital play a huge part,but sometimes just being committed to your dreams will get the ball rolling..I recently read stats on businesses over in China,This article reveal that the monopoly is exclusive as far as Hair Products which rests solely in Chinese hands,to narrow it down lets say the hair trade,weave and most things that Black Americans buy ,use and wear,also the Businesses that use these products which is multi-million industry,hair weaves ,corn rowing,things that Black people buy with a vengeance is not owned by one Black person !! You heard me, not one Black person is the head of a hair product industry,Oh we may be buyers and or owners of the businesses that utilize and capitalize on the manifested products but we don't own the actual bulk amounts,Yeah the Chinese are a shrewd bunch,capitalizing off of our vanity and our monies.Now who do you suppose shares in all that multi-millions that come out of our communities every hour,every minute and each and every day.Black women buy weave ,Black women love the corn rows,but the Chinese own every damn aspect of it,they will throw a contract here and there simply because they need us to draw us out to buy and sell to us,that is the closest we can get in to reap the benefits.That is mind boggling to me because if we boycotted these products who the heck could Chinese sell hair to? And I must reinterate the fact that we as a people still don't patronize Black Businesses,we have been brainwashed to believe that what we sell is inferior to those things sold by other nationalities,that has to be the biggest misconception out there,a lot of times it is just the packaging that may be different.I can attest that there are jeans out here that don't have to cost $300.00 just to look good,that's usually peer pressure,keeping up with the jones and they are White,So you do the Math!!!!
