I Seem to Connect with Black People
Wednesday, January 2nd
During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today. I then heard an internal voice say, "I seem to connect with black people."
Although I am technically Caucasian (mix of Lebanese, Irish, and a little French), other Caucasians have often questioned whether I am white or not. I have experienced this since childhood. I am olive complexion and have black curly hair. Other whites don't feel comfortable around me, since they are not sure if I belong in "their category". I since this discrimination all the time at work and in the general public. I personally don't feel I "fit in" or feel "included". Surprisingly, often black people welcome me with a smile. We join in conversation easily. The topic never comes up about "what are you?" The clients that I connect with best at work are black. I have several co-workers and a couple friends from my young adulthood who are black.
