First 100 days, the orange one, YOU are NOT powerless.

I am 16 days into my first 100 day plan of 2017 to set the foundation for my dreams, goals, needs, and desires for the next 5 years. On January 20 the orange one a.k.a Hairdormort a.k.a somebody president but not mine will begin to implement his first 100 day plan that will set the tone for his dreams, goals, needs, and desires for the next 4 years of all our lives. Do you have your 5 year plan in place? What kind of foundation are you building for the next 5 years and beyond to stand on? How are you going to grow, resist, thrive, fight, build, destroy, rebirth, connect, heal for the next 5 years and beyond? Does your plan include self care? The orange one is coming into power. We are NOT powerless. YOU are Power I am Power. We HAVE POWER. What we focus on is what we feed. Do not feed or give in to fear. Give into the light. Focus on increasing your skills. Feed your self care. Give into love. Focus on the solutions . Feed the local, healers, leaders, warriors. Give into your inherent power. Focus on thriving over surviving. Feed your community resources. It would do good for all of us to remember that this country was founded by thieves, rapist, con artist, and soulless white men and has ALWAYS BEEN RUN by thieves, rapist, con artist and soulless white men. Don't let this last 8 years erase this from your memory. And as much as I love the idea of Obama, more Black Folks died under his watch than up under blatantly racist presidents. Hairdormort is BAD. But he is not the worse we have survived. Stop feeding the panic. Plan. Stop feeding the fear. Work your plan. Stop feeding the propaganda. Feed the solutions. Stop focusing on surviving. We are automatically gonna do that. Throw your energy toward us thriving. And watch us build a better world. I love you. I live you. Thank You. -LadySpeech #First100Days #LadySpeech #ShitAuntieSpeechSays #AuntieSpeechSays

“The fourth author, a psychiatrist with no previous experience treating Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD), clinically assessed the nine patients who had been given the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS) twice. She was aware of the nature of the research, but had never met any of the nine patients before and was told that anywhere from 0 - 9 of them could have MPD. She was otherwise blind to their diagnoses.”
