Welcome!!!

I am so glad you have taken the time to stop by and read a few lines. Thank you!

This blog is a mixture of personal experiences and interests, philosophies, political opinion regarding the Taino Movement and anything else that crosses my mind... Most of these are divided in pages, some which have tabs on the top for quick access, all of which are listed below. I attempt to post at least once a month. Sometimes I post more often, sometimes less, but I do try to keep up at least monthly. So if you find what I share interesting, stop by ever so often and see what's new!

If you feel moved to do so, please, take a moment to let me know you were here, if you agree or disagree with something or have had a similar thought or experience- I'd love to hear it. You may also send me an email via the email page.

Otherwise, have a wonderful day and thanks again for your time.

Thanksgiving Day: to Thank or not to Thank…

Families gather together, whether they like each other or not, to eat, drink and be merry. But this merry-making is not to be found everywhere for [...]

Disclaimer:

The opinions shared on this blog are my own and are based on study, introspection, personal thought and point of view.

My purpose is not to offend nor to put down, but to question. The world is not black and white, things are not always one way or another- there are subtle shades in between. I like to examine opinions and beliefs and how I feel about them before subscribing to them and question everything! What are these beliefs based on and do I agree? And if I don't agree, why not? What are the discrepancies that are getting in the way of my acceptance? Sometimes something just doesn't feel quite right and deeper consideration will flag those inconsistencies for further study and thought. This leads to a more solid understanding of my own beliefs and a firmer footing within my center. My writings are an invitation to those who believe in critical thinking as a way of being.

You'll often find that I have more questions than answers, and in view of some of the topics I bring up, this can be very frustrating. But it also helps us realize that there isn't always an easy answer and ultimately, we are all in the same boat.

Feel free to disagree :)

Respectfully, I remain at your service,
Nanu

It's sorta bear; the work of translation is not an easy one since I wish to convey not only thoughts and concepts but also the flavor of my writing. Slowly but surely, it is being done.

Thanks and have a great day!
