I am grateful for this beauty that I live everyday that I call my life. I am grateful that I get to do what I love most. I am grateful for my Family and Friends. I am grateful for the Gift of this beautiful body and mind to experience this beautiful life.
In that vein I thank God everyday for my Ancestors and my elders. I am grateful that they came before me and did what they did so that I could have this felt resonant experience of their love. I am grateful for the stories that I have been told by them and the gifts that I have received from them.
On my recent trip to San Francisco, for book signing of Bryant Terry's Awesome Book: Vegan Soul Kitchen, I met up with a friend JFK, and she told me that she shared some wisdom with her teen-aged daughter. Jeanette said that she knows that she is here today because her ancestors held the line for her. They held the bloodline, they stood in line, they walked the line, and they crossed the line! I sat quiet for a moment and knew that is true for me. I am grateful for all of my ancestors that did that for me so that I could have the freedom that I love so well.
To my ancestors and my elders I salute you. I appreciate you. I love you. I will never forget you, and I will share you and your rich stories and traditions with my children and my children's children.
Blessed Love Always
Your Daughter
