Murphy’s Law states, “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong”. That is what 2020 feels like. That is what this past week felt like. Every time I set the bar low, my expectations are met with someone or something finding a way to slither through to the point where nothing is shocking to me anymore. I simply nod my head with intrepid expectation and wait for the next main event.
The problem with that is that I don’t want to feel that way. As much as it can be overwhelming with the daily barrage of foolery from all around, I never want to accept it as “status quo” and be desensitized to feelings of hurt, anger, disappointment, and frustration. I won’t accept that this is how it is going to be.
My “out” is my relationship with my heavenly Father. What’s yours? Amid all the calamity and chaos of this week alone, and I got it from all angles, he sent me some of the best news I could ever dream of.
I started my work week in a meeting regarding systemic racism and ending up screaming at the COO of the company. Really screaming and pointing and clapping in all my angry Black Woman ways. Things I said I would try my hardest not to do, I did. For the cause.
Tuesday, we watched 2 senior citizens who want to represent us to the rest of the world in a debate that looked like they were fighting in a senior care center over who got the last jello. I laughed to keep from crying but there was nothing funny about it. This is America.
Two days later the current white house occupant and many close to him get positive test results for Covid-19 and the conspiracy theories run rampant! No matter what the true story may or may not be, the ripple effect of the news alone….. are we ready for that? How far can you stretch your mind? That’s a blog that can take up 20 pages….
I ended the work with news that as a whistleblower on a situation, it is still not quite resolved however some wrongs are being corrected. That was a blessing. Hard work does pay off and it also takes time.
My purpose here has always been to encourage and let you know you are not alone. This week publicly has been one where you may be questioning the integrity of news reporting as a whole and after the debates feeling confused and anxious about what lies ahead. I am here to say do not be discouraged. If you did not feel out of sorts this week, I would think you lived in a bubble and did not hear/see what has been transpiring.
The good news is, you can always research for yourself the information you are looking and find ways to meditate, pray, relax, and get inner peace to deal with your anxieties. You are not alone! This is a moment in time and this too shall pass.
Be blessed, take a moment to breath and step away from social media and the news for a while!
Love you all!
