This weekend is going to be a busy one, and I don’t have the time to write a new post, but I did want to drop a few links to some important articles that I’ve read this week and that have impacted my thought process.

I need to remind myself, in this journey, that I need to educate myself and filter my responses before I speak. I feel that there are a few sentiments in my previous post that exude privilege, but I own them and leave them so as to keep reminding myself that this is a journey. I won’t come to some spiritual awakening or epiphany overnight. Or maybe ever. The best that I can do is continue my efforts to learn. Be open. Be aware. Be ever mindful of others voices and how I navigate my responses.
