See what we're up to

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a day to walk in his footsteps. It is a day to remember that with every resurgence of hate, we can rely on the power of love. A day to remember that silence in the face of injustice is support for injustice; that the strength and conviction of one person can change the world. It is a day to remember to never stop fighting for the right to live peacefully as one human race. J. Autherine #mlkday #martinlutherking #ihaveadream #civilrights
“You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.” I am a student of poetry and Mary Oliver was an excellent teacher. #maryoliver #poet. * * * * * * #poetry #poetrycommunity #teacher #nature #naturelovers #naturepoetry

"When you've worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed." Happy Birthday to @michelleobama who, along with @oprah continues to inspire me and remain me that our work is not done. Continue to learn, grow, become. Most importantly, help and uplift others. * * * * * * #michelleobama #oprah #happybirthday #empowerment #empoweringwomen #empowergirls #uplift #bethechange #inspiration #inspirationalquotes #success #successquotes #successmindset #successfulwomen #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock #bff #becoming

Repost from elizabeth_gilbert_writer - one of the most beautiful and inspiring souls in the universe. “You guys, I can’t do it anymore. I can’t attack myself. I can’t insult myself. I can’t respond to a compliment by offering up a list of my flaws. I just...can’t. It feels like such a violation of the sacred. I don’t have the heart for self-deprecation anymore. Somewhere along the way, over the past few years, I’ve lost the dark (and particularly female) talent for self-criticism, and for tearing myself down. It feels like sacrilege. My mouth can’t form the hateful words. And I can’t bear it anymore, to hear another woman demean, degrade, or diminish herself. It shocks my senses and hurts my heart. To witness a woman denying that she is beautiful is like watching someone set fire to an art museum. It’s like watching an angel drink gasoline. It’s like watching a Phoenix rip off its wings. I just can’t be around it anymore. It hurts too much. This is my official plea: I beg you to stop doing that. You are a magnificent creature. Start knowing it. Stop lying about yourself. I love you. Onward. ❤️ LG”
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.” Maya Angelou * * * * #mayaangelou #mayaangelouquotes #jamaica #scotchies #passion #compassion #empowerment #humor #quotestoliveby #poetry #thrive #atpeace #travel #travelblogger #travelgram #traveljamaica #blackgirlsrock #blackgirlmagic #travelphotography #onelove #oneheart
May the beauty and peace of the ocean flow through your mind and soul today. May you always remember that you are an important part of the universe. 💕🇯🇲.
As my feet touch ground in Jamaica, these portraits of our national heroes, which are on display in the airport remind me that greatness lived and lives in the land of my birth. * * * * * * * #jamaica #landofmybirth🇯🇲 #marcusgarvey #paulbogle #nanny #samsharpe #heroes
