Peace,
Today, Detroit Public Schools closed due to the severe snow storm. This means our class at Parker Elementary will be cancelled. We'll resume next year on January 7, 2009.

Stuff & Receiving Box
Peace,
We had a great day at Parker Elementary on Friday (12th). I met a few of the teachers and they said the children loved the program and encouraged us to keep up the good work.
Last week, we talked about the Stuff & Receiving Box. Basically the girls used this time to release anything conflicting with their spirit. We call it "Stuff". Once they wrote it down, they had to release it to the universe. It cannot be discussed and talked about in detail again.
The next step was to pull an Goddess Attribute or "Receiving" from the receiving box. Each student was asked to read the attribute aloud and claim it. Some may call this journal writing, but it's a little more to it. The students are actually taught the science of releasing "stuff" and the science of receiving and accepting blessings.
It was a hit!
More next week, God willing.

White doll vs. Black doll Experiment
August 6, 2008
Dear Family,
Perhaps by now you've seen videos of black children being asked to pick between a white doll and a black doll. The most famous video of recent note was conducted by Kiri Davis.
Why is it important to teach the knowledge of self? See for yourself and tell a friend.

3. Black Doll/White Doll - http://www.colourtelly.tv/

4. She Wants to be White (Mexican Version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAnuBSlkNjs&feature=related
The question I have is why did Kiri Davis choose or allow those questions to be asked? What would have been the girls responses if the questions had been posed differently. Humm!!!!
