Trust the Process...

  Trust the process..    International Space Station Interior  Titan Submersible Interior  In the future men and women will colonize earth’s upper atmosphere , and from there return to the Moon, and many more years from now, travel to Mars. Yes, that’s what awaits our descendants! It’s already been proven with the International Space Station that continuous habitation beyond terrestrial earth is possible. Men and women will eventually inhabit the oceans at various depths. Why? There’s an abundance of accessible resources to sustain human life in the sea…under the right conditions. Whether in space or the ocean, new frontiers of human habitation will only be survivable through constant self-preparedness and willingness to comply with the supremacy of physical laws. Last week, a tragedy occurred that attracted world attention. The Titan Submersible, owned by OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, was destroyed during its attempted 3 rd d

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month.

May is Senior/Elderly “Preparedness Buddy” month. Truth be told, many of us have traditionally perceived the Senior/Elderly demographic as being less productive, and less able-bodied after entering “elderly” status.   Yet * recent studies show  that , Seniors overall, are among the most lively , continually productive, and “preparedness-strong” adults among us! Baby Boomers have actually benefited from better health habits in their formative years: Less processed food, more outdoor activity exposure, more 1 on 1 social interaction. These formative years exposures have provided long-term benefits as we proceed into the 55+ category. Society benefits in recognizing the enduring value of our elders: ·           They’re a source of wit, wisdom, and common sense; much needed in today’s society. ·           Our  most elderly seniors  have overcome adversity, and found ways to revive and thrive, even in the aftermath of calamitous world events: World Wars, Vietnam, Domestic Civil Unrest, Pand

Prevailing Imagery of Jesus

Image
As we enter Easter, which is the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus, the Christ,  versions of the crucifixion story, both old and new, are broadcast throughout mainstream media.   The prevailing imagery of Jesus is always of European appearance as shown... It is very rare to see "multi-ethnic" representations of Jesus, such as those below.... How much does it matter?  When I gave my life to Christ, in 1984, after my father died suddenly that  June,  I was responding to the  message  of Christ, not his "Eurocentric"  appearance  in the bible. I needed Christ’s message of salvation. My perception of how "Jesus, the man" looked, gained clarity in October of 1984, when my mother and I visited Egypt and the Holy Land.  In the Bible, the Lord instructed Mary and Joseph to "escape into Egypt" (  Matthew 2:13 – 23)   Common sense dictates that you escape to a place where you will "blend in"!  We saw no "blond, blu

March is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!

March   is Women of Preparedness Month at PerennialNC!    We celebrate the unique strengths of icons, past & present who emulate Christian faith, preparedness, resilience, and grace, amidst an at-risk world. They were & are preparedness-driven, against the odds,  to make life better for others. It takes faith, fearlessness, and self-preparedness, to take a stand as a woman, in the past, to the present day!  There are so many women that represent these attributes, who don’t “make the news” or get an award.  We honor them all! "Self-preparedness" has been a significant attribute for women since Biblical times.  As written in Proverbs 31: 15 - 30,  a husband counted a wife's entrepreneurialism and self-motivation, on behalf of her household, as a blessing.  Proverbs 31: 15-30  She gets up while it is still night;      she provides food for her family      and portions for her female servants. 16 She considers a field and buys it;      out of her earnings she plants a

Why you need $1660 or more Cash Sta$h in Today's Economy

Image
  A cash stash of $1660 can potentially  be the "tipping point" to avoid bad financial decision making & desperate behaviors during at-risk events.  My "tipping point" Example: *Emergency Dental or Vision Expense - $660 minimum  *Emergency Car Repair $500 Deductible *#SHTF(Stuff Hits the Fan) Cash Emergency $500 Your "tipping point" Cash Stash may be higher,  in order to prevent you from going into "panic mode." Whatever amount it may be, achieve it in 2023!  As of November 2022, 63% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. ..with no Emergency Cash Stash! At Perennial Preparedness, we believe in creating equity of opportunity to be financially prepared and resilient in all seasons!  If you're not already a Subscriber to PerennialNC, you need to be!  http://www.PerennialNC.com    

"40 Words for Bright Futures" , from A to Endless!

  "40 Words for Bright Futures" Youth S.T.E.M. Literacy   from A to Endless! A command of vocabulary in one’s native language, is a 1 st  step towards comprehension and mastery in many S.T.E.M. subjects. It is very empowering for a young person with an interest in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math profession to be introduced to a foundational glossary of words typically associated with their STEM or Infrastructure career interest. February is Annual African American Read-In Month!   As we enter the month #2 of PerennialLIFE™’s Inaugural Legacy Awareness and Preparedness Season,  we have re-introduced our Youth Literacy initiative, called “40 Words for Bright Futures”,  that perfectly complements this monthly preparedness theme. PerennialNC began “40 Words for Bright Futures” , in 2019 , consisting of mobile apps for iPhone and Android with 40 words in English and Spanish, that represent foundational glossaries for various STEM professions, in addition to the inclusi
