What She Say?? Be Kind

I  used to scoff at people making this statement. Maybe because of its simplicity or maybe because it sounded more like an admonishment that I was being everything but kind. But then when I started investigating it for myself that’s when I realized, that I was confusing politeness with kindness. Politeness is a fake superficial manner in which required no investment no self reflection. But being kind is an adjective,  it is an action. If you are kind to yourself first it’s like exercise memory you will continue and will be kind to others.  Let that sit with you for a while.  I am being kind to  myself.  I’ll be kind to others. Very simple. Repeat. 

Lean into the spirit of the New Year by counting your blessings, giving to others, and spreading happiness! I know I will!

It is the beginning of a New Year so be kind to your mind and others. Give love to receive love.

Book Shop Pick of The Week

Octavia Butler, Happy Hermit, Writing herself into the world.

“Prescient . . . [Octavia Butler’s] work was notable for engaging with issues such as race, gender, sexuality, power and the environment . . . Butler’s stories always involve a deeper exploration of societal issues.”–LA Times

“One of the cornerstone works in the genre of Afrofuturism and the broader science fiction genre. The novel is set in a world a mere ten years in the future where water is as precious as oil, communities are ravaged by substance abuse, and a political leader will gain power under a ‘Make America Great’ slogan.”–Buzzfeed
“One of the most important and groundbreaking science-fiction authors.”–Entertainment Weekly

Ms. Tina…Matriarch if you nasty.

“A fascinating memoir of Tina Knowles’s journey to become the global figure she is today. We learn how the strength and wisdom of the women who came before her fueled Tina’s passion to achieve and gave her the ability to nurture her own daughters into the incredible women they are today.”—Oprah Winfrey

“Both her great-grandmother and grandmother fought to keep their children from being sold away or otherwise separated in slavery. How remains a mystery. Matriarchs, Knowles writes, ‘are filled with the most enduring and ferocious love.’”The New York Times

Colson Whitehead…
