At the Center of Nonviolence Stands the Principle of Love – A Tribute to MLK

January 20, 2020 By Deanna Leave a Comment

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. day! I’m reminded that kids all across the country get to stay home from school today and make snowmen or snow forts, at least here in the midwest. Kids in other parts of the country might be playing on the beach. 🙂

Additionally, there is no mail or banking today because this country has taken a day to observe the life and sacrifice of Dr. King. I, along with many others, do have to work today. However, that doesn’t mean I cannot observe the significance of this day, this man and the sacrifice he made for civil rights in our country.

The Significance of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

I suppose there could be someone reading my blog from another country who isn’t fully aware of exactly who MLK is so I’ll give a brief summary. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. earned his Ph.D. in systematic theology. He was a Christian minister and an activist/spokesperson for the civil rights movement. Dr. King was born on January 15, 1929, and assassinated on April 4th, 1968. What made King’s work so powerful is that he believed in advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience.

Hello, I’m excited to be publishing this post regarding a review of my 2019 and more importantly a forward-look into the coming year and decade! Last year I wrote a post about creating the sustainable habit of goal setting. I even wrote a mid-year review check-in like I set out to do. Although, I’ve been dreading my end of the year review mostly because I’ve failed at completing all of my goals.

So you may be asking why a single woman is writing a post about speaking the same financial language with your partner. I do have thoughts on this topic; however, I really want to learn more about it so I listen to the wisdom and experience of others. I’m pleased to offer you Good Nelly’s thoughts here. Good Nelly wrote a quality guest post for me in the past titled, The Debt Gender Gap and How to Reduce it Being a Woman. You are in for another treat with this post. Take it away, Nelly…
