  Deceit is Shallow, Purpose is Deep https://www.spreaker.com/episode/deceit-is-shallow-purpose-is-deep--72004013 We are stepping into a massive convergence of energy today, Tribe. A Double Double: Nia (Purpose) in the week of Nia, enveloped in the Ujima cycle. There is an old Haitian proverb that says, "The hole of lies isn't deep; deceit is easily exposed."

We need to begin judging some of these so called leaders on what they have accomplished, rather than what they promise.
