"All my life I had to fight."

Playing catch up with #TheColorPurple this week. I've never actually read this classic, but I have seen the movie from the 80s, so I kinda know what to expect. My heart goes out for poor Celie and her life - which was sadly more of a reality than we think back then.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
I would give this 6/5 stars if that was a thing. I have made an effort this year to read books by POC and basically anyone who isn‘t a cis hereto white man. I‘ve read some really powerful books. But this book, this I felt in my soul. I read the final pages through tears in my eyes. This book will sit with me for a very long time. It is *so* *so* good. #thecolorpurple

Day 29 - #imhere #musicalnewyear #thecolorpurple

I don't need you to love me
I don't need you to love
I've got, I've got, I got my sister,
I can feel her now
She may not be here,
But she's still mine

And I know, she still love me
I got my children,
I can't hold them now
They may not be here,
But they still mine and I hope

They know I still love them
Hey,
I got my house,
It still keeps the cold out
I got my chair
When my body can't hold out

Cinfhen I just realized my current book would work too as the book is about slavery 6y
readingjedi Cynthia Erivo's performance of this song is 😭😭😭😭 6y

There's something in all of us that wants a medal for what we have done.

Here's the thing, say Shug. The thing I believe. God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. #thecolorpurple #truth #god #godsinsideyou #foundwhenyouarentevenlooking #bornwithit #profound #inspiring

Any God I ever felt in church I brought in with me. And I think all the other folks did too. They come to church to share God not find God. #turth #thecolorpurple #church #god
