The Edenton Tea Party~

In 1774, fifty women in Edenton, North Carolina, signed and published a statement declaring their intention to boycott all British goods. It was the first women’s public collective political action in American history.

“As we cannot be indifferent on any occasion that appears nearly to affect the peace and happiness of our country, and as it has been thought necessary, for the public good, to enter into several particular resolves by a meeting of Members deputed from the whole Province it is a duty which we owe, not only to our near and dear connections who have concurred in them, but to ourselves who are essentially interested in their welfare, to do everything as far as lies in our power to testify our sincere adherence to the same; and we do therefore accordingly subscribe this paper, as a witness of our fixed intention and solemn determination to do so. “

“We cannot ignore events that affect our country. The leaders of our country have decided to protest the actions of our government. We believe we have a duty to speak out. We owe it to the men who lead us, our husbands and fathers, and we owe it to ourselves. We sign this paper to show that we will do anything necessary to support their protests against the government.”

The names of the women from Edenton appear below their statement. In their statement, the women expressed support for the actions and resolutions made by North Carolina's First Provincial Congress which met in New Bern from August 25-27,1774. These political statements and resolutions expressed support for the belief that the American colonists should not be taxed by the British Parliament without their consent and without having their own elected representatives in Parliament. The action of the women from Edenton was a bold and unique demonstration of patriotism. The Virginia Gazette was the local newspaper published in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Inspired by real-life Cafe Devocion in Williamsburg, New York.

Confession: I know this is blasphemy for many but I don’t actually drink coffee! But I’m having loads of fun recreating this beautiful little cafe the Shai way for my simmies to enjoy their caffeine high!

I MISS YOU  OUTPUT

[conduitofhealing]

Today @becky__kinder and I did an interesting experiment with art... which included walking with the sole purpose of observation, taking in the environment around you. Another was looking at art from the different perspectives of extremely close, to far away. If that wasn’t enough, I allowed myself to be lead with my eyes closed walking for a good half hour. So... I learned today... I can tell a tree by the feel of it’s bark, and a giant cherub knee feels like it should be a butt, when your eyes are closed. I can be lead up a ramp and walked down stairs... look ma no eyes. And, I enjoyed it. Trust exercises is one of the fundamentals in learning the basics of acting. So... I enjoyed that walk sooo much. These pic are from the final exercise of lying down and seeing what’s above you, and the final walk back. I’m not sure I learned anything new about myself today. But, it was great to just be in the world early on a Saturday and literally no agenda. I encourage people to #stop #be #interact and #enjoy the world around you. Enjoy the #slowpace the #fastpace and understand how the world changes when you can only #feel it rather than see it. T’was a good day. #theconduitofhealing #psychicmedium #reikimasterteacher #nature #urbanjungle #brooklyn #willaimsburg nofilters (at Williamsburg, Brooklyn)
