it’s Hump Day!
The phrase alludes to the fact that Wednesday is the middle of the work week, meaning that one has made it "over the hump" towards the weekend. The halfway mark is always a good sign as we only have a couple more days to work before we can relax for the weekend. I’m delighted today as I do my lively cartwheels (figuratively of course) galavanting toward the weekend! See you later! Photo Credit: Pininterest

The media definitely influences our thinking. Use discernment to what you read, hear, or see from the media - be it radio, television, or print. Take a look at this photo. Both photographs picture the same activity, yet, the description is different. The top photo references the Black man as "looting," while the bottom photo describes the White individuals as "finding." Let's look at the associated definitions. Another word for looting is stealing. Finding means to locate. Said differently - The Black man stole food. The White individuals found food. So, there you have it! You saw it in black and white (print). The story paints the picture based upon race - Black and White. You be the judge!
