HAPPY NEW YEARS - KWANZAA KIZURI - DAY SEVEN - IMANI/FAITH

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

HELLO ALL :

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO YOU AS WE ENTER DAY SEVEN, OR IMANI, IN KWANZAA JANUARY 1, 2015.

I received this beautiful quotation by F. Scott Fitzgerald from my Sister/Friend Terrie Williams, PR Diva Supreme, and I wanted to share it with you all as you enter 2015:

We all are blessed with imagination, dreams, talents, skills, abilities, just waiting to burst forth -

Some of us are fortunate to have shared them with great success

          Some of us have latent talent just bubbling under the surface, waiting for the right catalyst              to  propel it into action. 

Some of us are geniuses in training - regardless of what our age, financial or educational status happens to be -

God put the good on the inside before society came along and tried to put a stamp on the outside.  If we all follow the nguzo saba (7 principles) of Kwanzaa daily throughout our lives, individually and collectively, we can change our lives and the entire world for the better.

NGUZO SABA ( SEVEN PRINCIPLES) OF KWANZAA

 Creativity and imagination comes from the inside out - and we are all CO-CREATORS WITH GOD THE LIVING SPIRIT ALMIGHTY!   Right now! Not just yesterday, or some far off tomorrow, but RIGHT NOW -

My Mom, Ruby Love Dulan used to day:

"TODAY IS THE TOMORROW WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YESTERDAY!!!"

Not only are we embarking on a New Year, but I feel that as Black People, we are also embarking on a NEW ERA - individually and collectively - and it's so exciting, because this time we're all awake, aware, alert and alive, and active - and can amalgamate our considerable strengths to make it happen - so that our next Fifty years on this plane of action will be absolutely amazing.

I am so happy to have each and every one of you in my life as friends, relatives, loved ones at this very moment.  And I am totally looking forward to this great new adventure - my own, yours and ours.

I can't wait to see how it turns out - because I know that if we continue this movement together - 
as we have already begun, then we are already WINNERS!!!

IMANI MEANS FAITH IN SWAHILI - AND IF WE STAY IN FAITH WITH GOD THE LIVING SPIRIT ALMIGHTY AND WITH EACH OTHER,

                         IT'S GONNA BE AWESOME!

STAY BLESSED &

ECLECTICALLY BLACK

YOURS IN VICTORY AND TRIUMPH
(no more struggle - we are Victors not Victims)

GLORIA
