Introduction

I wanted to Q a workout for the newest national holiday Juneteenth in celebration of the freeing of the last held slaves in Galveston Texas in 1865, but the AO’s were closed that day. So I chose today.

Notice how I tied in the year 1865, trip from the North to free the slaves in the south and a few historical Black heroes.

Circle of Trust

My thoughts: Standing up for your family by leaving your comfort zone.

  • Q source taught us the fallacy of the societal and personal benefits of living outside of your comfort zone. This leads to people doing more of what they are not good at and less of what they excel at.
  • Leaving your emotional comfort zone is something else.
  • Good leaders live and work inside their comfort zone but are willing to experience emotional discomfort to right a wrong or to support an ally.
  • I related my experience of not being seated at a restaurant due to having my two black daughters with me as well as my daughter’s Indian friend. After initially driving away, I parked the car and went back in to confront the manager.  This was the point of the story, to get out of my emotional comfort zone.
