I had a dream last night; my mission in life is to end bigotry of every kind. To that end, I am engendering everyone in my family to contact me with Molden, Clinton, genealogy information to confirm our American Indian, Irish, Scottish, British, Scandinavian, French, German, Manx, Welsh, African and other links.
I am also going to begin work next month with our area Interfaith organization to introduce Nichiren Buddhism and the SGI-USA. Any of my friends in faith are welcome to join in this endeavor. I will also be hosting chanting at my house one night a week, TBA, based on others who may like to join in.
BTW, I realize it will take more than one person to end bigotry, but when one stands up, others will follow. It is time to stand up. I am at least 1/8 American Indian and am going to find my tribal affiliation as well as research other racial links. One of my granddaughters, is named for the Filipino Goddess of Love for a reason. She is 1/4 Filipino, as well as 3/4 'OTHER' and we want her to be 100% happy with every bit of her birthright, including being a citizen of this country, as I do all of our grandchildren. Our other grandchildren should be able to celebrate being Finnish, Italian, Swedish, German and MORE, as well! I want to help all of them learn that they are unique and wonderful in this universe, as are ALL people of every age, gender, race, faith, and ability! And we are all EQUAL!
