the importance of getting along

They say people fight like cats and dogs and we sometimes get caught up in a hot mess, distracted by the latest “did you hear what happened” thrown in our faces by the let’s-waste-as-much-of-their-time-and-energy-as-possible-machine that seems to rule this world. The end result: More time and energy gone to nonproductive activities. I look at my dog Pepper and cat Lyla who are perfectly content to live side by side, happy because they’re no longer strays and have food, shelter and companionship.They even take walks together, go figure. Pepper and Lyla have even figured out how to share Pep’s bed. They crack me up and remind me that kuumba (creativity) will help you solve any problem. As I continue to move…FORWARD…I will also use ujima (collective work and responsibility) to achieve the goals I have for ujaama (cooperative economics). Have a blessed and peaceful day, Everyone! Share some positive energy today.
