June

Gemini season is a very full time of year in our world over here. Not only is it Alexis’s birthday month but also her father’s, my father’s, and sister, twin nephews a niece and a whole host of very close loved ones as well. THIS GEMINI SEASON I am thinking about thoughtfulness. In this season of gratefully getting to celebrate others I have to practice still caring for myself. It’s not easy.

Do you give from overflow ONLY?

I am RE-discovering, circling back, once and again (lawd have mercy) to the realization that I have to be thoughtful to and for myself and my needs first. This is the ceremony that allows me to be generous with others. Generous without resentment.

AffOrmation: Why is it so easy for me to be a thoughtful person with grace and ease?

Are there ways that your thoughtfulness to others sometimes compromises your commitments to yourself?

ASK:

1) How do I begin with thoughtfulness & generosity for myself today?
2) Who can hold me accountable to acting like I know I’m worthy of my own self-giving?

April Sunday Services

I think the series that we are beginning today is called, Mo Honey, No Problems. Journey with us as we try on some words and wisdoms from Black Feminist and Ifa-Orisa tradition. Pat Parker inspires today’s Black Feminist Breathing meditation AND the sermon. Start off with this reflection and recitation on Pat Parker by Alexis with music by me, Sangodare. Below that is an audio version of today’s sermon.

NOTE: This is a 4th Sunday. 3rd Sundays are live.

The Ties That Bind
or
Gather All My Relations

I am very excited about the sermonics for today. I will be offering them later on due to a family matter that I will share about in the sermon/service. In the mean time, I invite you to pregame and send us some love with this Black Feminist Breathing meditation - Fannie Lou Hamer “Nobody’s Free Until Everybody’s Free”.
