The Purple Frequency of Unity https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-purple-frequency-of-unity--72046772 We all want to create. We all want to build the next big thing, leave our mark, and tap into the boundless energy of Kuumba. But what happens when you build your vision on a fractured foundation? This week, we are standing deep in the royal purpleness of Umoja (Unity), amidst the larger cycle and year of Ujima (Collective Work). The tension we face every day is the tug-of-war between the culture's demand for isolated hustle and our soul's need for connected unity. You cannot out-grind a broken foundation.

I have to have something to keep me from jumping off this journey and just running to the rat race. I'm sitting up late planning a community program that i will be sharing with you soon. I am planning some amazing things, and I am using the "Player's Pyramid" as my guide to get it done. More on that later. the idea that sparked me to write this late was my youngest son. I often forget that he watches everything that I do good, and bad. In June he found out how to use the on demand channels provided by the cable provider, and he is practicing his reading as well. On a Saturday morning he was watching TV while i was getting his little sister ready to leave. i went upstairs to give my youngest daughter a bath. when I popped down to check on Cleve he had pulled up a free channel. To my surprise he was not watching a violen...
