The Truth About Your Family, Start Digging

For years you were programmed to "stay out my business...you don't need to know that...stop asking so many questions..." but now that you are older, sometimes it pays to know the truth about family members and friends.

Secrets are never revealed because family members are too worried, scared or confused to ask.
Men and women meet one another and end up being kissing cousins, because no one wants to talk about a relatives adulterous affair.
Kinfolk lie to one another so as to appear righteous, true and kind when in reality they have something to hide.

Ancestry.com and other websites like it open the doors to a world of people you didn't know were your family members and lead you on a path to exposing the kind of truth that shines the light on darkness.  However, what Ancestry will never be able to do is ask the kind of questions that can only be asked by a hurting human being seated face-to-face to with someone that looks a lot like him or her.

It is important to know your family roots because your research will help, not only yourself, but others discover more about you.  The life lessons learned can bring a wealth of knowledge to future generations and hopefully keep some kin out of trouble.

Discover just how easy it is to collect the kind of genealogy research that is evergreen, beneficial, and impactful to all who need to learn more about the so-called "family business' which is at times filled with lies, cover-ups and exaggerations.  Don't you want to know the truth or prefer to keep spreading the lies?  Check out: Genealogy X What to Expect When Researching Family History by Nicholl McGuire

Happy for You? Not!

You make the announcement about some good coming your way, but you detect an attitude from a loved one, a deep sigh from someone else, and a mumbled, "That's good." from others.  What is going on with these haters?  Is it really that they are hating or are they really concerned?  Sometimes our folks are a mixed bag.  They don't know what to say or not to say.  At times they think they are being supportive when they are really not.  Other times they are genuinely concerned, but simply don't know how to express it with love and kindness.

When you have a poor track record of making good decisions, quite naturally someone is going to speak up and caution you about the possibility of making yet another bad decision.  If you are a winner, oftentimes making great choices, of course the haters are not going to be excited about yet another win for you.  They are wrapped up in their own share of personal struggles and prefer misery to keep them company.

I'm the type that is sincerely happy for my people when they are doing well, yet behind closed doors cry when others are not.  I hope and pray for the best for all whether African American or not, but know that people don't always do their best for any number of reasons. 

I can clearly see that in many circles where African Americans are in leadership, running businesses, building networks, communicating across the 'Net, or organizing reunions that we need more people to encourage those who are boldly doing things that go beyond the norm and are doing quite well going above and beyond not only for self but for others too!  Many of our people are operating on fumes when working, parenting, building networks, establishing bonds with partners, and more due to the lack of positivity within and around them.  There are more haters than kind supporters!

So if you detect that someone isn't happy for you, don't keep that person close, find those who are doing what you are doing and appreciate them!  There are just too many people in the world, no matter the ethnicity, that truly desire a quality life and you might as well surround yourself with them rather than keep negative people around, whether kin or not.  Toxic people weigh you down like an anchor does with a ship.  Rather than use the anchor for positive means like keeping our people from drifiting out into unknown waters without a captain, the anchor is used to maintain control by jealous folks--not allowing the successful-minded to flourish!

Welcome the doable opportunity you have been afforded!  Ride the waves and have a great life!
