Ten Twenty-six: September 2013
http://tentwenty-six.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
The journey continues.thanks for tuning in. Tuesday, September 10, 2013. The way I read it, the spots that were on my spine and sternum are no longer present. Does that mean I'm cancer free? While I complain of not being able to run as fast as I once did and becoming more tired from the activities I used to be able to perform with relative ease, I am reminded, yet once again, how fragile life is,. What brought some of this to light is the story of a woman, Jen Smith,. A rogue cell in my own body, so in e...

From the time my oldest child, Paige, was born everyone kept telling me, “Just you wait.”. When she made it through the terrible twos without much of a tantrum everyone kept telling me, “Just you wait.”. When she made it through elementary school and a move from NYC without trouble they kept saying, “Just you wait.”. Oh boy… just you wait.”. I told her that yes, I wa...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - youth leaders
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/12/justice4jamar-youth-leaders.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Wednesday, December 2, 2015. Justice4Jamar - youth leaders. Today as I sat outside the 4th precinct I felt discouraged. Last night's snow collapsed tents. Firewood is. And then a school bus slows down as it drives by the barricade and I hear all these tiny little voices yelling "BLACK LIVES MATTER! When I came home tonight I saw. MPS Board of Education Director's open letter to Minneapolis youth. Dear Students of Minneapolis Public Schools,. I can’t tell you how heavy it ...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - appalling silence
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar-appalling-silence.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Tuesday, November 24, 2015. Justice4Jamar - appalling silence. History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. 8211; Martin Luther King, Jr. I'm pretty pissed off at this point. I have been for the past week, but today I hit the boiling point. I have no doubt that I will offend and/or piss off people with this post. So it goes I guess. Friends, ...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - it's personal
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar-its-personal.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Saturday, November 21, 2015. Justice4Jamar - it's personal. Yeah, I'm the baby. I just can't believe it." This is not only a social justice issue. It is that- it is huge. And. This is family mourning. This is friends grieving. This is a 10-year-old who watched the murder traumatized. This is a community tired and pissed off. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I will fight for you. I will go to war for your life in the only way I know how. Index card wisdom (icw). Guest blogger...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: #Justice4Jamar - loyalty and power
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/justice4jamar.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Wednesday, November 18, 2015. Justice4Jamar - loyalty and power. Martin Luther King, Jr. As a resident of Minneapolis, I feel the tension that is present in our city deeply. This is my city, and there is no question that there is institutional racism present, not to mention the racism alive in people (in all of us, in my opinion). In light of the current situation here, although I don't really know what to say, I feel like I need to say something. Is one of the most profound, p...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: The importance of suicide prevention.
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2016/04/the-importance-of-suicide-prevention.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Saturday, April 2, 2016. The importance of suicide prevention. I have been reminded by a few people lately that there hasn't been any activity on my blog for quite some time, and that I haven't posted much in relation to this year's Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk. I turned to my dog, soundly asleep beside me, and I thanked her once again for being here because nights like tonight often hold the capacity to come damn close to landing a catastrophic blow of despair for me.

Abiding in Steadfast Love: through the night
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2016/05/through-night.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Thursday, May 12, 2016. Below the video is the "script" I wrote to accompany videos and photos from last year's Out of the Darkness Overnight walk in Dallas, TX. The quality of the footage is not awesome, but I wanted to offer a glimpse into what the walk is like. EVERY YEAR more than 800,000- some data estimates more than 1,000,000- people take their own life. EVERY DAY approximately 3,000 people die from suicide. According to the World Health Organization. World Health Organi...

Abiding in Steadfast Love: You never stop fighting for your own.
http://dstizzle.blogspot.com/2015/11/you-never-stop-fighting-for-your-own.html
Abiding in Steadfast Love. Sunday, November 22, 2015. You never stop fighting for your own. What do you mean "Is it worth my time? Hat doesn't even deserve an answer. One of the "chants" of social justice movements are these words from Assata Shakur. It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains. If you have another 4 minutes, watch this. Most injustice is legalized. Most truth speakers are crucified.
