"The National Reconciliation Week advances the concept that leading a healthy centered, balanced life requires being in touch with our emotions and understanding the effects they may have on our physical, mental and spiritual health. The process of connecting to the internal to enhance the external is what we call “reconciliation,” and can be implemented by an individual, an entire family, persons within a family or a community.
​
It offers individuals, families and communities an entire week to intentionally focus on the process of reconciling to effect healing from the emotional, mental and physical trauma of estrangement; to inspire better self-care, familial and community relationships; and to empower achievement of stated goals, aspirations or dreams.
​
It’s important to note that reconciliation is a journey--not a destination—requiring a deliberate and purposeful effort to yield positive empowering results. The NRW believes effective reconciliation can address unresolved trauma while diminishing the potential for recurring trauma. It also can assist in creating a new post-pandemic normal."
Esther Productions, Inc. is dedicated to using a variety of vehicles—traditional and nontraditional—to develop communities throughout the United States and Europe. It was created in 2004 by Jonetta Rose Barras, award-winning journalist and author of Whatever Happened to Daddy’s Little Girl? - estherproductionsinc.com

The calmness that envelops the sky acts as a gentle reminder of the continuous cycles inherent in weather patterns.”

Whispers of Color

    I enjoy creating my art using vibrant hues of yellow-orange, purple, and magenta coupled with black and navy blue. “The hue of yellow-orange is frequently associated with qualities such as creativity, enthusiasm, and an overarching sense of optimism. This lively color radiates a spirited energy that can stimulate innovative thought and foster a positive perspective on life. The warm undertones of this vibrant shade evoke sensations of joy and vitality, creating a distinctive fusion that promotes both artistic expression and an uplifting attitude.

Interpretations or meanings

  I am not playing mind games with anyone.I have made it abundantly clear that I am no longer in the role of a student. I was a student from 1978 - 1997 and I will not accept being treated as one. With over three decades of experience providing consulting services, I have established my identity in this field, and I kindly ask that you cease any actions that undermine that status. It is essential for you to understand the importance of respecting my professional journey. I have dedicated many years to honing my craft and building a reputation that reflects my expertise. Therefore, I urge you to take a moment to review the content I have shared and refrain from searching for interpretations or meanings that simply do not exist in my writings or on my blog. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your understanding.

Individuality

Individuality. Digital art created on canvas. September 15, 2024. Afrika Abney The garments I choose to wear do not serve as a reflection of my identity. Rather, my true essence is shaped by the qualities, abilities, and life experiences I have accumulated since my early years at NationHouse. It is these intrinsic attributes that truly characterize who I am, rather than the external appearance dictated by fashion or style.The foundation of my character is built upon principles such as integrity, a strong set of values, moral convictions, and a flair for creativity. These elements collectively contribute to my individuality and how I navigate the world around me. Ultimately, it is the internal qualities that define me, rather than the superficial aspects of my attire. The journey I have undertaken since my formative years at NationHouse has instilled in me a deep sense of integrity and a commitment to my values and morals. Coupled with my creative abilities, these characteristics form t...

Insightful Discussions

  Quote found on the Internet  “Eleanor Roosevelt once articulated a profound observation regarding the nature of intellectual discourse. She suggested that the most insightful individuals engage in conversations centered around ideas, exploring concepts that can inspire change and innovation. This perspective emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and the pursuit of knowledge, encouraging individuals to elevate their discussions beyond the mundane and to focus on the transformative power of ideas. In contrast, Roosevelt pointed out that those with a more conventional mindset tend to focus their discussions on events. This approach, while still valuable, often limits the scope of conversation to what is happening in the world around us, rather than delving into the underlying principles or philosophies that drive those events. By concentrating on occurrences, average minds may miss the opportunity to analyze the implications and lessons that can be drawn from them, the...
