I like how royalty simblr collectively cast "Sulani" as "the colonies" without even thinking about what that means. In a lot of stories it's just a cute little destination for tropical photo ops, which is insidious.

The Spiritual Meaning of Autumn: Time of Finding Balance and Calm in The Year (And... In your Life!)

Many people... Always feel sad, at the arrival of Autumn. Not because they may suffer from ''The Seasonal Depression'' (Which is, when for the change of duration in sunlight; some persons fall in depression, until that season; ends), because the change in sunlight and in weather; means than they are forced to spends more times indoors than outdoors, feeling bored and doing all the things they were intentionally postponing; and than now they most do, 'cause all social activities have become scarce; and this is the only thing they must do, to forget their annoyance... But Autumn, is not a season to despises to; no... Is an oportunity to do something than we forgot to do, in our fast and loud modern society...

...To relax and find balance, and our time with our closer love ones; or alone!

The Autumn Equinox (like in Spring), is the time when the day and night; has the same lenght; which is different from The Summer's and Winter's Solstices, where the day and night; has a different lenghts. The Spring and Summer, are seasons of many social activities; were all is full of color: The Spring, is associated with Love and Life; while Summer, is associated with Passion and Adventure; and these two seasons, overall; are associated with Youth, Beauty and Joy, which explains why the arrival of Autumn; may feels ominous for many people: Autumn... Is associated with Sadness, Decay... And the Darkness than starts to grows and to permeates everything around us. But, if you takes your time to reflexionate about it; Autumn, may be equally as fun and/or important, as its brights and colorful sisters.

This is the things you can do (with your love ones, or by yourself), to revitalizes your heart and soul; and, as a moment to connect in this season; with Deities/Nature/The Earth:

Taking an slow little walk, while feeling Autumn with your senses: The smell in the air of the soil mixed with rainwater, the sight of the fallen leaves in its different colors; the feeling of the earth beneath your shoes/boots, etc... Will helps you to connect to Nature/Spirits/Deities/, by being relax; and being in the present moment.

Watching the rain fall in front of a window, while reading a book; drinking a tea, or both: You will feel the positive and magical side of Autumn with these activities, be it than you are sitting with a coat; with a big duvet/blanket over your clothes, or... Even sitted in bed.

Seeing an clean and beautiful sky, after the rain: If appears a rainbow, will gives you the chance to feel magic and hope; despite the gray clouds around the rainbow. (But... That feeling is as equal as powerful, by seeing a clean and bright night of Autumn; after the rain!)

Enjoying the sounds of a Thunderstom: Just like Electrical Storms... It will connect you to the raw energies of The Planet, and with Gaia's Heartbeat; and also... To the Deities of The Thunder!

Amazing yourself by seeing an Electrical Storm: Nothing like seeing an Electrical Storm, to connects to the magic and power of the Air and Storm Deities; and... You'll have something to watch, when electricity is gone! (Note: Watch them inside of home, at 1 or 2 meters awat from windows; for your safety!)

Converts an area of your house in your personal refuge, from the chaos of The World: If could be your Attic, your cellaret; your basement, or... A little room than you never found a use to it; until now: Turning it into a beatiful place to shut yourself for a few minutes, when be around people became too draining; or, after a very hard day at work/college/street. And... Don't worry about spends a lot of money, in this project: Trowed what can't be used anymore (or sell what you still have in good state) of that place of the house, painted in a soft or neutral color; put one chair and a tiny table to sitted in comfort, hang a beautiful drawing than calm you or a motivational quote where light hit it, buy an tiny ceramic essential oil burner with its tealight candle, put the light candle under the ceramic plate; put 1 or 2 drops of an essential oil for Spirituality over the ceramic plate oil burner (Frankincense, Lavander or Sage Oil; for example), and... Enjoy your new space for Meditation/Calm Time/Me Time/Praying!

Making a Homemade Dessert/Sweet, to eat it slowly: You can make this as offering to The Deities/Spirits/Nature, and/or to have a moment for you! Eating a little piece of your creation without a hurry, and without distrations; remains us of the sacredness of eating and being in the present, by focus only in the sensation of every bite; tasting each spoonful, and feeling the softness/hardness/dryness/humidity/warmess/coldness of what are you eating, at that moment. (If you are diabetic/hypertense/allergic... Use recipes for your condition, and be mindful of eating an small portion; and leaving the rest to eat the next day, or share it!)

Takes a time for yourself to only drawns, dances; sings, writes poetry or an story; which makes you feel relax: When you creates with your hands, or moves your body and/or voice; you are connecting with your own spirit, and with the creative forces of The Universe; plus, with The Deities of The Arts and Inspiration (which they needs than we are in a calm and quiet state, so we can recieve their energies/inspiration more easily; and we can create with less difficult); 'cause we can't recieves the messages when we are stressed/restless. (So now you know, what you can make the next time you need to find inspiration/creativity: Do something fun without thinking, at home... And you will recieves a visit, from The Muses!)

Meditate about what area/s in your life are out of balance; and what you can do to improve it/them: Takes this time to sit quietly for a least five minutes without any distrations, and thinks in what important part of your life; you are dedicating too much or too little time: You are spending to much time in Spirituality?!... Time to spend more time with your family or friends, to avoid fall into isolation or fanatism. Your Emprendurism is receiving little attention from you, lately?!... Takes 20 minutes or more of your day, to see how you can improve it; or see if you should change to another kind of Emprendurism or Business than will be more easy for you to manage and invert money in it. Your SO, is demanding you more time and you are not feeling lately the desire to pass more time with him/her/them?!... Maybe is time to think if that relation have a future, and what you can do to improve it; or end it in the less painful way possible. When all our areas (Health/Wellbeing/Social Life/Alone Time/Wealth/Spirituality), are mostly well... We can feel at peace with our lifes! AND, at last...

At the moment the sunlight, dies out... Take it to talk to your Deities, or reveal in their presence/energy: Twilight... Is a very misterious time, when The Human World and The Spiritual World, suddenly get connected; and many weird phenomenons, happen with ease. (I know that for my own experiences, when The Gods and Goddesses have appeared in front of me in that moment of the day; suddenly and mostly in front of me) So, if you need to ask them for something very important; talks them of something than worries you, or; thanks them, but you misses the magical moment of the early morning, after waking up; and you can't wait to bedtime then, keep calm; and... Wait for Twilight!

That's all for today: Happy Belated Mabon Greetings! And, balances The Darkness and Light in you... So Be It!

If you aren’t able to fast because of health issues, you can fast from something else other than food! Or have your food be as bland as possible and go without the nice flavors. The purpose is to abstain from something you take for granted and there’s several options for that if it’s something important to you and traditional fasting isn’t an option <3

tysm anon!!! i never really considered that but i think i'll give the spice suggestion a try <333

How to Best Prepare for a Tsunami: Essential Advice for Coastal Residents in Jamaica

While hurricanes often dominate disaster conversations in Jamaica and the Caribbean, tsunamis pose a real threat that cannot be ignored. These powerful ocean waves, triggered by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides, can cause immense destruction along coastal regions. While rare, tsunamis have occurred in the Caribbean, with devastating consequences, such as the one in 1946…

Nearly 300 sq miles (800 sq km) of royal blue waters on the western side of the island nation that serve as key nursing and feeding grounds will be designated as a reserve, the government announced on Monday.

“We want to ensure these majestic and highly intelligent animals are safe from harm and continue keeping our waters and our climate healthy,” the prime minister of Dominica, Roosevelt Skerrit, said in a statement.

"Buried among Florida’s manicured golf courses and sprawling suburbs are the artifacts of its slave-holding past: the long-lost cemeteries of enslaved people, the statues of Confederate soldiers that still stand watch over town squares, the old plantations turned into modern subdivisions that bear the same name. But many students aren’t learning that kind of Black history in Florida classrooms.

In an old wooden bungalow in Delray Beach, Charlene Farrington and her staff gather groups of teenagers on Saturday mornings to teach them lessons she worries that public schools won’t provide. They talk about South Florida’s Caribbean roots, the state’s dark history of lynchings, how segregation still shapes the landscape and how grassroots activists mobilized the Civil Rights Movement to upend generations of oppression.

“You need to know how it happened before so you can decide how you want it to happen again,” she told her students as they sat as their desks, the morning light illuminating historic photographs on the walls.

Florida students are giving up their Saturday mornings to learn about African American history at the Spady Cultural Heritage Museum in Delray Beach and in similar programs at community centers across the state. Many are supported by Black churches, which for generations have helped forge the cultural and political identity of their parishioners.

Since Faith in Florida developed its own Black history toolkit last year, more than 400 congregations have pledged to teach the lessons, the advocacy group says.

Florida has required public schools to teach African American history for the past 30 years, but many families no longer trust the state’s education system to adequately address the subject.

By the state’s own metrics, just a dozen Florida school districts have demonstrated excellence at teaching Black history, by providing evidence that they are incorporating the content into lessons throughout the school year and getting buy-in from the school board and community partners.

School district officials across Florida told The Associated Press that they are still following the state mandate to teach about the experience of enslavement, abolition and the “vital contributions of African Americans to build and strengthen American society.”

But a common complaint from students and parents is that the instruction seems limited to heroic figures such as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks and rarely extends beyond each February’s Black History Month.

When Sulaya Williams’ eldest child started school, she couldn’t find the comprehensive instruction she wanted for him in their area. So in 2016, she launched her own organization to teach Black history in community settings.

“We wanted to make sure that our children knew our stories, to be able to pass down to their children,” Williams said.

Williams now has a contract to teach Saturday school at a public library in Fort Lauderdale, and her 12-year-old daughter Addah Gordon invites her classmates to join her.

“It feels like I’m really learning my culture. Like I’m learning what my ancestors did,” Addah said. “And most people don’t know what they did.”"
