Sick :(

By SheelaR

I’ve been fighting sickness for nearly 24 hours now. I’ve got a raging fever and my throat feels like I swallowed a gasoline soaked lit match. Ugh! Michigan is in the midst of bipolar weather and it is wreaking havoc on my allergies and immune system. Being sick has put a damper on my progress with my beauty product line, because I’ve been resting all day and I don’t feel like engaging with my entrepreneurial spirit.

Anyways…

Lots of things happened in the world today. Villanova has won wins NCAA with a last second three pointer against North Carolina. I didn’t watch, but I hear that it was a very exciting game. Congratulations Villanova!

Also heard on the streets
The state of Mississippi has decided to make April Confederate History Month – without the mention of slavery. I don’t think they got the memo… Confederate history is all about slavery. They’ll basically be celebrating their history as loser. A white flag would be more appropriate for the celebration.
Dear Mississippi:

Celebrating your “heritage” without mentioning “slavery” is like celebrating The Resurrection without mentioning Jesus, it just doesn’t work. It is very disingenuous of you to hold celebrations that fail at acknowledging that this country’s entire economic system was built on the backs of slaves. You can not separate southern history and slavery as if they didn’t go hand in hand. While you’re pretending, the rest of us will be looking at you with judging eyes.

Also happening:

“Panama Papers: Leaked documents reveal offshore activities linked to heads of state. Reports say that documents from Mossack Fonseca, reportedly reveal links to money laundering operations among Vladimir Putin’s associates and suggest the Icelandic prime minister hid offshore financial interests.” I’ve not had time to fully research and understand the gravity of this, but from what I’ve been able to garner… It sounds like a major scandal.
