When one begins their spiritual journey, they often start in the church.To many, the church should not only preach the word, but convey a source of comfort.
Because history is largely based on perspective, many historical greats are seemingly omitted from history. For instance, it is believed by many that Rosa Parks was the first to protest the giving up of her seat to a white man. While this story is often heralded as a testimony of protest and change—particularly in relation to the formation of the Civil Rights Movement, there was a woman who refused to give up her seat 71 years before Rosa Parks. Her name was Ida B. Wells-Barnett.
I recently paid a visit to the Boston Public Library, and came across a pamphlet called "Black Is...2009." The pamphlet lists an array of suggested fiction and non-fiction readings, as well as DVDs that seemingly represent what it means to be Black. Though I was enticed by the title, I was also in a hurry. For this reason, I quickly grabbed the pamphlet, bolted out the library door, and walked back to work.

Though today is World Kindness Day, we should practice kindness toward one another on a daily basis.
