African history month (also know as Black history month) began as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of African peoples. Part of the celebration is also devoted to taking a deep look at how Africans dispersed to different parts of the world over time.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, many of this year's festivities such as eating together, going to singing and instrumental concerts focused on the month and visiting museums have been curtailed. Many events are, however, taking place virtually over the Internet. It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, while in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom it is observed in October.
Valentine's Day isn't just for lovers. This day is for all who love others. I'm reminded of Kermit the Frog's song and the line "The lovers, the dreamers and me." And I add, children, friends, siblings, parents and all the other relatives, acquaintances, the homeless... It's not just a day for couples...it's a day to let someone know you are thinking about them and that you love them. This year, let all whom you love know they are loved. Heck, show your love with a smile to those you don't know. Make it a day for doing things for others. Love to all this Valentine's Day. ~ who couldn't use a little extra love?

Even though Groundhog day has come and gone, it appears that in Punxsutawney, the town in Pennsylvania, where Phil, the groundhog who "stood" outside to see if his shadow would be seen or not, did in fact, see his shadow. Legend has it that the presence of his shadow foretells that Winter will linger for an additional six weeks this year. Given that our newsletter comes out on the first Sunday of the month, Groundhog Day passed before our publication was delivered to you. Regardless, this video (click here or on the graphic to the right) to watch these pesky, yet cute, groundhogs in action..
Amanda Gorman, Youth Poet Laureate
We invite you to listen to Amanda Gorman read her poem, The Hill We Climb, at the January 21, 2021 U.S. inauguration. Click on the picture to the left to hear her read the poem or you can read the it in its entirety below.
The Hill We Climb
When day comes we ask ourselves,
where can we find light in this never-ending shade?
The loss we carry,
a sea we must wade
We've braved the belly of the beast
We've learned that quiet isn't always peace
And the norms and notions
of what just is
Isn't always just-ice
And yet the dawn is ours
before we knew it
Somehow we do it
Somehow we've weathered and witnessed
a nation that isn't broken
but simply unfinished
We the successors of a country and a time
Where a skinny Black girl
descended from slaves and raised by a single mother
can dream of becoming president
only to find herself reciting for one
And yes we are far from polished
far from pristine
but that doesn't mean we are
striving to form a union that is perfect
We are striving to forge a union with purpose
To compose a country committed to all cultures, colors, characters and conditions of man
And so we lift our gazes not to what stands between us but what stands before us
We close the divide because we know, to put our future first,
we must first put our differences aside
We lay down our arms
so we can reach out our arms
to one another
We seek harm to none and harmony for all
Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true:
That even as we grieved, we grew
That even as we hurt, we hoped
That even as we tired, we tried
That we'll forever be tied together, victorious
Not because we will never again know defeat
but because we will never again sow division
Scripture tells us to envision
that everyone shall sit under their own vine and fig tree
And no one shall make them afraid
If we're to live up to our own time
Then victory won't lie in the blade
But in all the bridges we've made
That is the promise to glade
The hill we climb
If only we dare
It's because being American is more than a pride we inherit,
it's the past we step into
and how we repair it
We've seen a force that would shatter our nation
rather than share it
Would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy
And this effort very nearly succeeded
But while democracy can be periodically delayed
it can never be permanently defeated
In this truth
in this faith we trust
For while we have our eyes
on the future
history has its eyes on us
This is the era of just redemption
We feared at its inception
We did not feel prepared to be the heirs of such a terrifying hour
but within it we found the power
to author a new chapter
To offer hope and laughter to ourselves
So while once we asked,
how could we possibly prevail over catastrophe?
Now we assert
How could catastrophe possibly prevail over us?
We will not march back to what was
but move to what shall be
A country that is bruised but whole,
benevolent but bold,
fierce and free
We will not be turned around
or interrupted by intimidation
because we know our inaction and inertia
will be the inheritance of the next generation
Our blunders become their burdens
But one thing is certain:
If we merge mercy with might,
and might with right, then love becomes our legacy
and change our children's birthright
So let us leave behind a country better than the one we were left with
Every breath from my bronze-pounded chest,
we will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one
We will rise from the gold-limbed hills of the west,
we will rise from the windswept northeast
where our forefathers first realized revolution
We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the midwestern states,
we will rise from the sunbaked south
We will rebuild, reconcile and recover
and every known nook of our nation and
every corner called our country,
our people diverse and beautiful
will emerge, battered and beautiful
When day comes we step out of the shade,
aflame and unafraid
The new dawn blooms as we free it
For there is always light,
if only we're brave enough to see it
If only we're brave enough to be it
Since 2017 I am very happy to represent the group in Honduras Central America after having seen the film in 2010 and read the books Conversations With God by Neale Donald Walsch in 2015.
I have been inspired by the joy of being able to connect with God, I was able to be part of this important foundation that at a global level is cooperating in humanity’s awakening.
At the moment we have a group on WhatsApp in Spanish coordinated from Spain by Mateo Llompart and María Fernanda López on Wednesdays and Saturdays with 60 members from all over Latin America, we enjoy reading the CWD books.
In addition, we include issues of global importance including our relationship with water.
Water has the ability to configure its geometry based on those elements that are in it and everything that comes into contact with it, that is, water saves memory, saves information, frequency and energy of everything that comes into contact with her.
So it is a very good idea to keep it in an environment of love and peace to benefit the well-being of our body and keep us healthy.
Join us at www.humanitysteam.org our global community of leaders are waiting for you.
