Year of Seven, 2023

An elder once said to me, You Are Made of God Things,  and it rings in my head in moments of doubt and conflict.  She was the closest friend, and most important person in my life, aligned with my grandparents and parents. Six months ago,  I birthed a beautiful daughter, and in June,  we said our goodbyes to our beloved mentor and friend Dr. Toni Humber.  JUNE is also my birth month, and year 41 brought one single silver string on my crown.  Funny because, losing our Toni made me feel like it was a coronation in elderhood.  I also felt like my circle of life moment in her passing was to birth her last blessed baby, she would so impact.  They met, a few days before her passing, they joined hands in the air and formed a pyramid, I embraced their hands in the air with my own like a bird's wings for protection and to capture the energy in my veins and fast beating heart.  Gratitude filled me, and I could not cry, I rejoiced and sang for joy. Their visit was incredible,  blessed by the most High. 

So, next phase is 40s and I am stacked with a great Guardian. I look forward to what's to come, and continue to lay a legacy and fulfill my dearest elders dreams, whom prepared paths, like Dr Humber. I continue to live out the internal question, What is an activist and how do they live out their impactful life with love and fury.  I walk like I learned in a revolutionary and radical loving Jesus I learned of as a Kid. So this Caro G continues!
