𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐥. We are hardwired to aspire, dream, and reach for the stars. Whether deep friendships, true love, higher mastery, or greater impact, this longing makes us feel fully alive. The Declaration of Independence marks the birth of America with an iconic statement that channels this longing as the ethos of a new nation: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." by Thomas Jefferson More about this on Chapter 10 (Sneak peak): Little Book of Big Reasons to Love America Link in the comments… #AmericasIndependence #Independence #America

America is Awesome! Here are 5 reasons why: 1) The American Dream. This dream continues to inspire millions on these shores and outside of it. There is no better place in the world to improve yourself, and build a better life for yourself and for your family. 2) A wife and her husband can disagree. They can discuss politics, end up voting for different presidential candidates, and still remain happily married, because a meaningful and purposeful life blessed by G-d is built on years of shared experiences and not on one single visit to the polling station. 3) "A nation of laws and not of men." Three Presidents and One Supreme Court Justice have been impeached in our history, reminding them and us that no one is above the law. 4) From sea to shining sea. What a beautiful place we live in! From majestic mountains and snow-capped slopes, to shimmering seas and white sandy beaches, our natural wonders have something for everyone. 5) The NFL. Roughly 100 million people watch at least part of a game every single week. That about 3 in 10 Americans. Our love for the game spans all races, religions, genders, and age groups. Why do you love America? #godblessamerica #usa #weareone

Hello Makeda, ReFraming our history: Long before there was history there was African history. Black history began long before Genesis and slavery. Slavery is NOT our history. Slavery is an evil interruption of our history. The after effect of this oppression is a hard lesson but should not become an eternal sentence. SACRED NILE presents the photo evidence of our spiritual inheritance and buried sacred history of faith in Africa before Genesis and slavery. SACRED NILE highlights the African influence on ancient faith development along the river Nile. The primacy of African theological thought is verified by the visual evidence found in this book. SACRED NILE is a photo history book that uncovers the African influence on philosophy, spirituality, and religion. This book examines our foundational history and sheds light on the missing and buried links to our glorious imagination. In our miseducation Black people have been taught everybody’s history except their own. SACRED NILE provides fresh air to traumatized souls. Check out, SacredNile.com to learn more and share.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a choice to have America live in isolation in a world dominated by totalitarianism. This might have preserved America physically---its mind and body - at least for a time. But constricted in such an "alien world," the "spirit of America" would die. The Spirit of the organization---the one thing worth cherishing and defending at all cost. It is the sacred fire of the enterprise the he/she leads! Keep America strong in mind, body & spirit! Respect and keep 6 Principles of our government: Popular Sovereignty. Limited Government. Separation of Powers. Checks and Balances. Judicial Review. Federalism.

---------THIS IS FOR MY WHITE FOLKS. All are welcome to engage ------ Find yourself scratching your head at the state of the world and how we seem to keep repeating the same mistakes? Wondering how we could possibly be rolling ourselves into yet another Trump presidency?? I highly recommend Robert P Jones's book, White Too Long. It is no exaggeration to say that the future of America will be determined by white Christians. This is not an appeal to altruism, but rather a roadmap of how white Christianity has shaped our country. Jones argues that contemporary white Christians must confront these unsettling truths because this is the only way to salvage the integrity of their own faith and their own identities. This book calls for an honest reckoning with a complicated, painful, and even shameful past. It challenges white Christians to acknowledge that public apologies are not enough—accepting responsibility for the past requires work toward repair in the present.

"When American civilians enlisted in the fight against a tyrannical dictator, they coined a phrase... But there’s more to America than "baseball, mom, and apple pie." What makes us great is more than a story, it's a narrative... It's the American Dream. ↳ A story is an anecdote, a specific event with characters–a clear beginning, middle, and end. ↳ A narrative is an abstract concept, an overarching theme that keeps unfolding over time. At Storied, we use stories to engage emotionally, and narratives to guide strategy and inspire long-term thinking. So what’s the American Dream as a narrative? The Land of Opportunity Freedom of expression Entrepreneurial spirit Pursuit of happiness Risk-taking culture White picket fence Economic mobility And much more… I’d go so far to say: the American Dream is our national religion. Nothing unifies us more than the ideals in our national narrative. The American Dream inspires people worldwide, even in our current political state. So as you gather with friends and family in the coming days… Let us remember and freely share our American Dream! PS - What does the American Dream mean to you?"
