Like most well-meaning adults in today's world, the events of the past several weeks and months have been extremely challenging for me. This past weekend, however, was the worst of them all. 


It all started with Mr. Blake's shooting. I knew better than to watch the news. While I did not watch the actual video (I can't), I couldn't help catching a glimpse of the CNN reporter talking about his ordeal and the inhumane way he was treated at the hospital! 


Right away, I started hurting inside for him. 


What if he had been my son?


Would this be his fate?


Shoot, arrest, detain, and shackle?


What is going on here??


Either way, one thing led to another, and before I knew it, the waterworks filled everywhere!


Then came the final straw for the weekend...my eldest son was profiled and had the police called on him by an elderly White male in Boston, MA for simply being Black!




Let's just say, I am doing a lot better now. The outpouring of love from everyone has been mindblowing.  


So, thank you all again.
