Who am I?
of my 7 generations of vibrant women!
This post will be different from any others I’ve posted but it just feels right for me today.
A few weeks ago I celebrated Loudly and Proudly being on this Earth for 60 years and as I reflect back and ask mySelf ‘who am I’ — what you read below was my answer from Spirit. We get such wonderful gifts from Spirit when we are awake and listening. And for that I am truly grateful!
I hope my celebration of my 7- generations will inspire you to explore and celebrate your 7…
These are my maternal roots. From top left to bottom Charity Noble is my Great-great grandmother’s name and this is not a real picture of her but a picture of a woman in Africa that I met through a photographer. You can read the rest of her story in my book Wombology page 51. Charity – Anna – Nellie – Geraldine – myself – my daughter Chakira – and a baby picture of my daughter representing the 7th generation.
How do I remember who I am
I am Charity Noble’s great-great granddaughter ~ She gave me the gift of Being free no matter who thinks they own me ~ She was a slave in the USA!
I am Quincy Annie Noble Peppars’ great granddaughter ~ She gave me the gift of gratitude no matter what I’m going through ~ She was in the Oklahoma Land Rush!
I am Nellie Iona Peppars Burton’s granddaughter ~ She gave me the gift of resilience no matter what life hands me ~ She survived the death of 3 sons and one taken away from her when he was an infant.
I am Geraldine Bernice Burton Jenkins’ daughter ~ She gave me the gift of forgiveness not matter who rejects me ~ She was rejected because she was Nellie’s daughter, because she lived in the sticks, and because she was not who others wanted her to be!
I am Chakira Jonae Johnson’s mother ~ she gave me the gift of balance no matter what or who I am ~ She was born left-brained to a right-brained mother!
I will be Big Mama CeeJai grandmother to a soul not yet arrived on this plane and relationship not yet established!
I am CeeJai (CJ) Johnson and who am I ~ to not let their God-light shine from within me? I am honored and blessed to be all that I am and will BE – just me!
When I look in the mirror and see all of me, these ladies are part of who I see.
When I am challenged to let my light shine, I drink from their cups and re-member my sacred self.
When I struggle with life, their energy supports me.
When I think about my future, I lean on and I am proud of my her-story!
