I’ve done so much thinking the past couple of days about everything going on in MN. My social media outlets are polluted with nothing but, and it’s been hard for me to digest. I’m not one to voice opinions very often. Lately I feel that they need to be addressed though. I came across this picture today and it left me stunned.
Our family has mixed races. I cannot even begin to think of what it is like to be in their shoes. All I want to do is scream from the roof top! That I hear you. I see you. We all do. You have me. You have my support and I’ll do what I can to ensure you always feel safe. What I would give to take the worry and fear away for those who feel it.
Not all law enforcement is like what we have seen displayed. There will always be some who are power hungry and hold their noses above everyone else. There are also so many good ones. I know some personally and it hurts to think that they may be feared as well when they’re such good people.
I like to turn to music when I’m searching for the right words to say. Today I had three that stuck out in my head. One Is full version with video attached. The other two are a specific verse. I included the video for the last song. Words are so powerful. And I believe these songs hold a good place in how I see things currently. I hope you watch them. If not, at least see some of the lyrics.
My hope for everyone is that we all choose kind. Being a decent human is what’s important. Now more than ever.
Until tomorrow.

Blue on Black
Night falls and I'm alone
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You turned and you ran, oh yeah
Oh oh, slipped right from my hand
You turned and you ran, oh yeah
Oh oh, slipped right from my hand
Yeah
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's like blue on black
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's like blue on black
Blind, oh, but now I see
Truth, lies and in between
Wrong can't be undone, oh no
Well it slipped from the tip of your tongue
Truth, lies and in between
Wrong can't be undone, oh no
Well it slipped from the tip of your tongue
Yeah
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black
Yeah, it's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black
Yeah, it's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black
True Colors Justin Timberlake & Anna Kendrick version
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
Don't be discouraged, oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just call me up
'Cause I will always be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
Well, maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
