TO MY SISTERS: SEE WHILE YOU'RE LOOKING!

True story... A brother once asked me to loan him some money. For what I asked. He wanted it to but his queen an exquisite engagement ring. Beautiful desire; but Altho he's my brother and I love him I told him no. In fact those were the very reasons I said no!

I feel that if a man is not financially prepared to appropriately symbolize entering an intimate, adult, life-relationship with a mate, then he probably isn't financially prepared to enter the undertaking itself that is being symbolized.  When the ring is being given, it is more than just the giving of a ring.
If I'd loaned him the money for the ring, he would have been presenting to her a representation of MY financial situation, not HIS.

So he ought to wait to give it until he is able and set to come correctly regarding the whole 9 yards.

Honestly, a half stepping mindset is usually pervasive, rather than representative of isolated actions! In other words believe who he is the FIRST time he shows you!
I believe Sisters need to understand that about their mates same way they do about themselves and quit feeling guilted or obligated by antiquated ideals to accept financial unpreparedness just because "he loves you"!

"ASSUME THE POSITION!"

Today is Sunday; even though many of us do not regard it as the "Sabbath", it's still known to be a day of rest, relaxation, and revitalization.
So right now you may be saying, "To HELL with The Position, I'm in chill mode today and Kingston better go on somewhere with that today!"  

Ok. I hear you! 😊 Go on and chill. Rest your body. Relax your mind.

But never forget that We are living in a system of white supremacy designed to exclude our welfare and therefore perpetually to endorse Our irrelevance and uphold our oppression; so We cannot afford to ever COMPLETELY relax  Our minds sleeping in the camp of our enemy!
Even if you relax your body, Assume The Position MENTALLY. Always!
In other words, STAY WOKE DAMMIT.

Yesterday's Kwanzaa Principle for
the fifth day of Kwanzaa was "Nia" or Purpose.
What is your purpose Kindreds?

If you still aren't quite sure, spend 2018 pursuing the answer!

Time is only your friend if you employ it!

Much love to All of You.
Your brother Kingston Somadi
