Prepper Thoughts after the #TropicalStorm Barry Mobilization.

Image
( From Cap Black Social Media ): Thoughts after the #TropicalStorm Barry Mobilization. #Collectiveconsciousness radiated terse expectations regarding what this former Category One hurricane and tropical storm would do when it arrived in New Orleans. Of all words spoken and typed about this event, one I didn't see or hear was, #prepper. It often conjures connotations of militarists, cultists and survivalists, among other ominous " ists " in skeptical minds. Sweeping store closures and mass buying underscored the very real need of folks to have  food, water and other supplies independent of what government and big nonprofits offer in time consuming times of need. The word prepper may make folks uneasy. What makes me even more uneasy is the thought of people hungry, thirsty and frantic during real or imagined crisis because they didn't or couldn't stock supplies to sustain themselves until conditions return to normal. We who care must also prepare. ...

Be a Shepherd in Your Pasture

More Power to YOU!

Image
( From UrbanSafetyist on Instagram  ): More Power to YOU! A minute ago I finished talking to someone first met when I was a property manager collecting rent from him. As we parted company I told him, " More Power to u! " The phrase echoed in my #mind, so much so that it inspired this brief post. As we weave #collectiveconsciousness into changing outcomes for the better, each person needs to believe in his or her own power. Otherwise, the resulting  #likemindedness will resemble like minded mess! Large scale crime, blight and hopelessness are the regrettable result of minds closest to such conditions either accepting a negative stereotype or even worse, imposing one upon themselves by repeatedly doing things whose end result is negative. I said to him, and rhetorically to #likeminds, more power to YOU! The more each of us sees ourselves as forces for good, the safer our spaces, events and institutions become. More Power to YOU! #CapBlackUrbanSafetyist #Secu...
