Hey Flickr fam!!
I hope y'all had an awesome summer!! As we ease into Fall, I want to take a moment before the hustle & bustle of the winter months/holiday season to thank you all for your love and support over the years. I appreciate each and every one of you for contributing to this special community - for inspiring me with your kind words - for sharing your heart and soul, along with bits of your life, as creatively expressed through your visual art and written word. You make my world a little brighter and alot more beautiful every day, despite the darkness and ugliness of our current social and political climate assaulting our senses and permeating our lives on a daily. This community gives me hope for a better future, a brighter tomorrow, as we co-create the dawn of a new βwokeβ era, the manifestation of a powerful shift in consciousness and energy.
For it is the artists, the poets, the creatives, the thinkers, the outliers, the highly-sensitive intuits - they are the visionaries, the lightworkers, the peace warriors, the changemakers - the revolutionaries for a new age of consciousness - THEY are you and I! THEY are WE!
βWE are the ones weβve been waiting for!β
WE will change the world and save the planet and all its inhabitants from the self-destructive path that humanity is currently on. #StayWoke!
Love & Light,
Lisa
There's nothing more reassuring than knowing God has your back! The devil is working overtime. Sometimes from a distance, sometimes right in your front yard. But when you're Faith is strong, the devil's efforts will always, ALWAYS be in vain! #staywoke

Itβs very difficult not to feel some kind of way in light of recent events {Random Thought 4.18.21}
Currently, mass gatherings at venues like arenas are prohibited as part of Governor Roy Cooper's executive order because of the potential spread of the novel corona virus, however, the weekly mass gatherings of hundreds of protesters in downtown Raleigh goes unchallenged. For the 6th consecutive week, hundreds of North Carolinian's gather in downtown Raleigh to protest Governor Coopers executive orders demanding he "reopen" the state. Police stand by idly and the mass gatherings, a violation of Coopers order, continures.
The government has taken over our lives in ways we would have never imagined. First they claimed we would have to "stay at home" and "stay safe at home", until they "flattened the curve", then the goal post was moved to "we must stay inside until we get a vaccine". Then pompous NY Governor Cuomo told his constituents to stay home, don't go out, shouted for ventilators on and on he went. A recent report shows that those infected and dying in NYS were people that stayed at home, were retired or unemployed. That group was affected by Covid 19 more than anyone else in that state, 66%, to be exact. Winston Churchill once said, "No crisis should go to waste". Will our politicians take advantage of this crisis to fundamentally change our freedoms and way of life. Will they use this crisis to further their financial enrichment? There are signs this is already happening. They are arresting people that open their businesses, they send in Police SWAT Teams to close down beaches, parks and parties at private homes. Mayor Lightfoot in Chicago said she would arrest anyone that had a party.
And just prior to this massive government overreach, Senators Burr, Feinstein, Inhofe and possibly others dumped millions of dollars in investments shortly before the recent market crash. They did so after receiving daily briefings on the Covid 19 health threat. How have these people achieved political office? That's a question all Americans have to grapple with after Covid 19 is gone.

That's it, I'm absolutely DONE with America, I wanna move back to Africa or anywhere but here, land of the free and home of the brave my ass, as a black man I am absolutely outraged at the decision made at the Mike Brown trial, his murderer is walking free knowing he just got away with killing a black child, I'm done with the police, I'm done with white people and I'm done being an American, this is not what my country should stand for! It seems unless you white shit ain't gonna go right, I'm just sick and tired of us being peaceful all the damn time, we need a fucking revolution!!!
I think I need a mental health day now that I know Darren Wilson is now walking free, I ain't saying I hope he gets shot in the face but if it happens...I definitely ain't gonna mourn his ass
And as a black man, it's sorry and pitiful that the only thing I really have to fear now is anyone with a badge, how many of my brothers and sisters have to die before we get our justice? Before we get true freedom?

Dear Black Man - By China Alicia Rivera
Dear BLACK MAN.
Don't be afraid to cry.
Though you've always had Oppressors.
Seek to hold your head high.
You are a pillar of STRENGTH.
A Symbol of Diversity in your Creator.
A REFLECTION of Infinity in God's Eyes.
And what GOD so wills to be...
No Man can Ever Permanently Tear Down!
For, we're ALL the LORDβS CHILDREN.
One WILL. One Crown.
And if EVER inside, you're made
to feel, your Soul dies.
You Must Remember...
It is Not By Man. BUT BY GOD...
WE RISE.

Not All Police Officers - By China Alicia Rivera
Not ALL Police Officers are Evil.
Not ALL Police Officers are Bad.
They Embody and Save the
Lives of MANY... A Sister, a
Brother; a Cousin, a Mom, or Dad.
When you threaten the Life
of; or even kill a Police Officer
You DO NOT Know... YOU... Are
No Different from Any Murderer,
Killer or Oppressor! And certainly
no friend of PEACE, of GOD, or of
LIFE. Think... Before You Act!
