Day 14/15

Today is the 15th day of NYCUP. How far I have come.

Friday: Resource Card (I finished my (part of the) work--finally!) ---working:)
           Mont Lawn City Camp Gallery Show: the kids showed off the work they did the day before and we got to meet the parents and play with the kids again!
           LOGOFF Workshop: we discussed the Feed 500 Manual and such.

Saturday: FUN DAY
              Thrift shopping!
              The Museum of Natural History
              Alice's Tea Cup
              NY Pizza
              Laughs.
              Smiles.
              Matt & Jessi's Engagement Ring
              10 Things I Hate About You?

But, highlight of the day, a lovely worker in the museum told me, "Sacajawea" and then went on to tell me to go to the Native American section and pose in a display, because I apparently fit in so well with my braids. 

Yes. That happened. And as the girls talked, we discussed how "racism" is not to be feared, because at some point we become fearful to even see the differences. Now, I didn't mind the lady much, she was just trying to be "fun" I assume and notice how different I was...I think, but sometimes, I am guilty of this too--- how I exploit our differences to be a joke or some point...when really, race is utterly beautiful and I enjoy seeing the differences interact with each other. 

Now, I am all for different races and I am all for interracial everything, so--- I try not to be "racist", but at some point, we just forget each other and our mouths take control. And sometimes we are too afraid, because we think we are coming for a dark place or putting someone down. 

Say what you need to say, with wisdom and direction from God.



Lion King = Life Lessons
That's all I gotta say.

Sacajawea out.

P.S. Arrested Development Season 3. YES. (But I went out today, so...IMPROVEMENT!)
