#ChangeStartsWithin

[swanenlightens]

I have a 28 year old black son. This could’ve been my son, your son, nephew, brother, or friend. I refuse to watch the videos. I have seen enough throughout Black History and media. To be frank, I cannot even keep up with all the deaths as a result of police killings. I often wonder what more can we do. I’ve prayed. I’ve protested. I’ve folded into my career by elevating important topics to help dismantle and disrupt systemic oppression and inequities in hopes that our youngest children can have a better future. But, I know there is so much more to do. In case you’re wondering, what can you do: continue praying for our children’s protection; check in with your Black friends/colleagues/staff; educate yourself on anti-racism, biases, systemic issues, and police brutality; support and take action for sustained efforts in your workplace and community; lift up peer intervention; demand accountability and change in police brutality/culture. (Side Note: Yes, I’m aware that the killing of Tyre Nichols was committed by Black officers. This does not surprise me considering the police culture, systemic oppression in our country, and the role media plays. A suspension/expulsion preschool study noted, white and black teachers were harder on black boys.) There is a lot of conditioning through schooling, socialization, and media about anti-black messaging. So, I will pray for his family. It starts with you. #tyrenichols #changestartswithyou #changestartswithin #policebrutality #policekillings #antiblackracism #ipray #stillpraying #sayhisname #anothervictim https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn8ba21rooL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you want to change the world around you, start by changing yourself from within. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, focus your time and energy on the positives.

When I was younger, I worked at a dollar store for two and a half years. Many would think it was an easy job and that I should have been happy. But the reality was different. I felt miserable due to the long lines, one manager who constantly screamed at me and made unreasonable demands, customers who followed me home, and more. The more I dwelled on these negatives, the worse my job became.

At one point, a customer threw her iced coffee at me because I had to check IDs to sell lighters, following store protocol. It was a rule that had been in place for years. After she was escorted out and banned, my head manager, the actual boss, told me to go home early for the day and take a few days off. I think she knew I was burnt out and close to quitting, and this incident pushed me over the edge.

During that week off, I reflected and realized there were more cons than pros to staying in that job. When I returned the following Friday, I decided to try and make it a positive day. While it wasn't perfect, it was better. The lines were shorter, and I could get more recovery work done. This positive trend continued, and things began to improve.

Eventually, my head boss had her baby and quit, leading to a transition to find a new boss. A new team also merged with ours, and they were some of the nicest people. I was able to focus on my favorite job, recovering the store and making it look nice, as the night manager took over the register.

Although I lost this job due to COVID-19, I was happier towards the end of my time there. I became known as the happiest person among my coworkers and customers. Even my favorite customers noticed the change and cheered me on. While it may have seemed like chance that I became happier and things improved, I see it as a blessing.

Be the melody people would love to dance on, the sunshine people would love to lay under, the breeze people would love to feel on their face, the sunset in front of which people would love to stand motionless…

Loving the autumnal changes, we're now in the aurora season with clear evening skies which are perfect for looking up at the ⭐🌟🌠. The leaves have changed to red & yellow before falling. Yellow in any season brightens my day, perfect season for this unique statement ring me thinks 😉 Seasonal changes, hmmm I'm also thinking about tweaks I need to make in my studio with my new bespoke storage & just in general. One of my best traits is putting other's first, but today I'm going to be a little selfish & put myself first. Today I'm going to hang in my studio & whip it into shape. I'll share progress later. Anyone notice just how clearer the sky is? What are you going to do for yourself today? . . . . . #rebeccathickbroom #yellowring #statementrings #jewellerydesign #changestartswithyou #changestartswithin #handmaderings #ring #uniqueearrings #yellow #ilovecolour #livecolourfully #designermaker #autumnishere #makersgonnamake #workingonasunday #wearableart #londonartists #takeactiontoday #londoncreatives #artistthoughts #lovewhatido❤️ #handmadering #loveunique #ringsoftheday #instaartist (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGewLSclZt9/?igshid=x3qaa8qfdrye
