This is your Brother Sneferu, bringing more mind to matters at hand! Though the end-of-year and new year hype has subsided, the principles of Kwanzaa remains! After my household blew out our candles for the last day (Imani), during the Kwanzaa celebration (Dec. 26th- Jan.1st), a look of disappointment came over my girls. "Awwww Daddy, is Kwanzaa over?!", my girls sternly asked. I quickly said, "Not at all . . .just the week of celebration. The principles and practice, are to be ongoing daily and all-year around!"

With one of the largest holiday approaching, I'm not amazed at all; how the Eurocentric/Western culture of the seasons, is on its full-court press on the minds and spirits, of the young and old alike.

It's said children say the darnedest things, but they also say things with simplistic emphasis and power!

The other day, I had an interesting discussion about how I lost 50+ lbs. in several weeks! I didn't set out to lose a set poundage, but I did prepare my mind, body and spirit to be healthy. So, the question kept coming up as to what motivated me to make the lifestyle change --mind you, I wasn't too bad off, just not in-shape?

A few things stay crystal clear to me, one of which is health, and being healthy. I saw one of the "Army Strong" commercials the other day, and it had me laugh out; not in a negative way, but one more akin to . . .at the time, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama gave his "I get it . ." segement of his speech!

The summer season has begun, so far, it has been relatively mild with the sunshine and heat. The funny thing is, when the sun starts to blast through the clouds and bake the earth, the first thing I hear is, "Put on your sunscreen!"
