Text of the page (random words):
died last week at age 95 and the 98 year old activist and author grace lee boggs they literally embody this philosophy in every cell of their beings they have demonstrated it externally with their activism and sacrifice for racial equality and social justice and internally by the wisdom they have gained and generously share from nearly a century of experience observation and most importantly reflection both started out as radicals and were branded as terrorists with the requisite fbi cia files mandela was even on the us terrorism watch list until 2008 because they initially saw the only way to overthrow the entrenched power structure was by employing the more literal and sometimes violent tactics of revolution through organized movements and a spirit of rebellion but through trial and error incarceration and maturity they eventually evolved they gave themselves permission to change their minds learn and grow in light of new information experimentation and once again reflectio n ultimately coming to the conclusion that in order to change the world they would have to change themselves they came to understand that indeed humanity is made up of humans and that humans were going to have to deal with other humans in order to get anything done so we d better be the best we can be as individuals and try to get along and get past our differences and disagreements because the reality is that we must co exist harmoniously whether in a racially divided african country a rundown bankrupt american city or in your very own household we are living in extraordinary times and it is no accident that you are who you are at this moment in history what does your humanity mean to you as our world continues to go through turbulent changes and upheavals it will be up to us individually and collectively to do our part to tear down where necessary and rebuild a more enlightened society that reflects our evolved humanity but we have to start with ourselves and do what we can in our immediate environments to demonstrate our own revolution which by the way does not happen overnight or with a magic pill silver bullet or special app only through keen observation deep reflection and inner and outer sweating effort and energy over a long period of time directed towards improving ourselves and serving others that true transformation can take place then if we re lucky by the time we reach our 90 s we can look back and see how our journey has positively and productively unfolded in both a personal and political way and be proud of what we accomplished and the legacy we will leave behind wondering how it will all go down if you take up the cause give me a buzz and i will incite a riot in your heart to make the most of what you got so at the end of the day you know it s gonna be alright i am so grateful to have learned about and met grace lee boggs just two years ago she passed away yesterday at the age of 100 everyone should experience her wisdom and humanity

growth you can follow her clearlykristina and like her personal growth gab pgg page on facebook to get more thought provoking inspirational and motivational tidbits like this life s most urgent question is what are you doing for others martin luther king jr one of the most common desires i hear from clients when embarking on a new career or making a transition is that they want to be doing something with meaning something that helps people my approach is to ask them what is the thing that makes you you what you are passionate about when do you lose track of time i inquire as to what their fantasy job would be and very rarely does that answer have to do with becoming a social worker or joining the peace corps you don t have to become the next mother teresa gandhi or mlk to make a difference and live your life in service to others perhaps that may be your path but as dr king also said everyone can be great because everyone can serve running for public office or volunteering on a regular basis can certainly fill that role but service can be expressed in a myriad of forms that aren t always so obvious or grandiose just being yourself and doing your best at you allows us to benefit from whatever unique gifts and talents you possess when one s work is done with love and integrity every job is one of service mlk day is also about celebrating diversity which can refer to many things including occupation we all have jobs that make the world go round whether it s the super taking care of your building the bus driver making sure you get to your destination safely the guy who makes your coffee and bagel every morning the janitor that cleans the public restrooms you use the designer of the clothes you are wearing the comedian that made you laugh last night the singer whose song you enjoyed on your ipod writer whose novel you devoured over the weekend no occupation is too insignificant as long as it is done to the best of one s ability you can see how any of those people have served you on some level and regardless of your job there is also the service you can provide by smiling at someone when you re walking down the street or showing a kindness to a stranger and notice how for moment you made someone happy or uplifted them in some way the thing that i enjoy most and lose track of time doing is talking to folks about their life s work and helping them make their everyday existence as meaningful and peaceful as possible i would love the opportunity to help you connect the dots of your life create more work life balance and recognize the value in whatever you do so just give me a buzz as i am always here at your service posted by kristina 0 comments labels career employment guest blogger history human rights identity inspiration kristina motivation

clearlykristina and like her personal growth gab pgg page on facebook to get more thought provoking inspirational and motivational tidbits like this when traveling by myself in cape town south africa in 2001 just seven years after the end of apartheid i had a major aha moment while having tea in the lobby of the historic old world luxury mount nelson hotel feeling somewhat awkward in my solo budget travel state i was in the midst of sipping earl grey when something clicked within me on the most profound of levels it occurred to me that due to the mere fact my skin was white with the bonus of having blonde hair at the time i was essentially given free rein to go wherever i desired and do whatever i wanted and no one would ever question me look at me strangely or think i didn t belong yes i was in one of the most segregated countries on the planet but it really struck me that this applied in a broader context no matter where i go simply because of the color of my skin along with being tall and dressing reasonably well in addition to being educated and american i enjoy a certain level of trust respect well this was just before 9 11 and service and almost always inadvertently avoid outright discrimination and bodily harm even as a woman which itself is topic for another discussion since that is only a very recent phenomena and may apply to less places but i digress suddenly the phrase carte blanche which literally translates as white card came into my head and i immediately made the connection to the district six museum s display of various id cards for citizens under that classified system white coloured black and indian in the united states and in a global sense it is an invisible card i carry that gives me entree ease and yes a certain unearned privilege to live a life free of so many stresses layers of misperceptions institutionalized prejudice fear bias and or hatred the majority of those of darker shades must endure and are too often endangered by i realize in telling you this story i may sound naive but you have to know this came at a time to someone who from childhood in theory and more than ten years prior to that moment in practice was not only quite aware of but particularly passionate about the issue of racial inequality and had many interpersonal experiences observations and relationships informing a significant understanding of the complexities all that entails earlier that year i had even started a non profit organization to dispel stereotypes and bigotry in order to bring women together to recognize our unity and celebrate our diversity but being in a place where racism had so recently been explicitly acknowledged and addressed in such a direct manner brought this concept home to me in a way that up until that point in my life because i am white had only been subtly perceptible and even then only because i was sensitive to the issue a couple of years later while waiting in the cold for an mta bus on first avenue in the east village i got to experience this overtness in reverse two black women chose to ditch the delayed public transportation and i watched in disbelief as two three five six open taxis passed by as they tried to hail them disgusted i asked if they needed help and of course the next cab stopped for me but when the driver realized the black wom...
