The Art of Adaptation: Unveiling the Wisdom of The Bat and The Weasels “It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.” — Aesop In the world of fables, we often find animals acting out the deepest parts of our humanity. These creatures, symbols of instinct and survival, carry lessons older than time itself. The Bat and The Weasels , retold from the mind of Aesop and reimagined through the lens of Gye-Nyame Journey, isn’t just a tale for children—it’s a guide for those grown folks who still seek mastery. When the World Has You Cornered Here’s the setup: A bat falls to the ground and is caught by a weasel. The weasel hates birds. So the bat, slick with the tongue, says, “I’m not a bird—I’m a mouse.” The weasel lets him go. Later, the same bat falls again. This time, a different weasel catches him. But this weasel hates mice. So what does the bat say? “I’m not a mouse—I’m a bird.” And he gets set free again. Now, you could say the bat was being dishonest. But hold on. Let’s go de...

Peace Fam:
Today we had a powerful segment leaning toward you and your personal power. In my time on this planet one of the hardest things for me is telling people no. Usually I feel guilty, and feel I have to explain my reasoning behind the no. I know that I am not the only one having this issue, many of us have ruined our lives, or may have put ourselves in compromising situations because we don't feel good about sharing our NO. I want you to understand that when you say no, you are sharing. You are sharing who you are and your values, and should stop allowing individuals to pull you from that. We all have boundaries and we need to learn how to enforce them, and using the "power of no" is one of our weapons for doing this. When we say no, we are being honest about our thoughts, and being true to our feelings, but we feel that we need to justify them. I am here to tell you that you do not. Those that can not accept your no, are revealing something to you. Something that you need to begin to notice, and understand. When someone can not accept your no, they are disrespecting you, and giving you a hint about how they feel about you. When they can not accept your no they are beginning to show you who they really are when it comes to you. A true friend, relative, or etc., would appreciate your no, and move on, not sit in your face and demand an explanation. The question that you have to always ask first yourself, and then the person you are dealing with is "why is your no not sufficient". My friend it is important that you understand that your no is sufficient, and requires no explanation. Stop attempting to justify your personal boarders to others who are trying to invade your space.
Basically I go more in depth in the video, but I think it will be a good listen. For those that want to jump to the discussion go to to about the half way mark and enjoy. I would love for you to leave a comment, as well as subscribe to keep up with what we are doing in GNJ. Also please take the time to sign up for this blog, as well as take the 21 Day Nguzo Saba Challenge. The challenge is free plus you get a discount on any products that are available as well as get plenty of free material. Change your life, or at least begin to change your life. Lastly begin to use your No, it will help you get some extra weight off of your life, and maybe your body.
Nuff said
I wish you Peace, Power, Joy & 1hunidyears
We pour libations/ to connect with all that is/ and to cleanse our hearts/ I need to start this article by stating this information is based on my personal experience. I have been pouring libations for at least 20 years all over the country and personally. Libations for me is a process of remembering, and connecting or re-connecting to not only the Spirit but everything around us . When we pour libations we are opening ourselves as well as the group to the axe ' of the entire Universe . I first must admit that I do not belong to a group, sect or religious order. I am a lay man who have made a personal connection with the world, and the spirit. By pouring Libations we strengthen these relationship. So let me define a few things first so that we can be on the same page. Libations - the process of pouring or giving a sacrifice to form a connection with this world and the spiritual realm. Spirituality - the state of establishing and maintaining relationships Axe...
