The Eagle's Nest: Follow-up On What Happened On Sunday's Show: My Sister's Keeper

My Sister’s Keeper

When beginning the creative process for the show “My Sister’s Keeper” I started as I usually do in meditation, studying what it takes to be someone’s keeper. I have sisters. I have all kinds of sisters, blood sisters, sorority sisters, spiritual sisters and then my aunties who are sisters that are older than I, but I got sisters. As with every show there is always a surprise lesson in the message for me so when I saw this topic I began to think “wait a minute!! I am there for my sisters!!” I tried to pull on my mental roll-a-dex of positive things I have said and done for my many types of sisters throughout the years.

I sat there with my arms folded (which is not proper meditation form) and said

“See!!! I have been there for my sisters”

My spirit guide that is so loving and patient with me responded “and”.

And???

And??

That is lot, right??

Isn’t that enough?

 I thought I was really doing something. But as I unfolded my arms and began to reflect I started to think about how much more was needed. It was not that I was not doing “enough” it was that so much MORE is needed. My sisters need my support, and I need theirs, period. But I am not special, at least not this day. I am not special in the idea that I need love and support from my peers. I am not special in the idea that I need a place where I can let my hair down and laugh and giggle with the best of them. I am not special in the idea that I need a shoulder to cry on when life beats me up and has me on the ropes. But then again I am special. We are all special. We all have emotional needs and that sister love it too important.

Some of the feedback I have received about this show is that is was the best show to date on The Eagle’s Nest!! I think everyone could relate with the need for sisterhood. The stories of being there for your friend, for your sisters were powerful and over flowing. My pillar Katrina who I have known and loved since 1992 called in and shared some of our crazy adventures together. I remembered all the situates she has helped me through from children to husbands and ex-husbands, through degrees and a thousand and one moves in between. My sister Aishah happened to be in the kitchen steps away from me “amen-ing” to all the comments. Momma Khadijah called in and educated us about the “womb” and how it connects all women to each other. AstroOrisa called in and shared the elevation of sisterhood which is womanhood and shared information about Egbe Moremi the women’s society of the Oyotunji Village. Momma Sauda called in with her “Sisterville Quilt”. This quilt is an expression of women and their interaction together.

Momma Sauda shared a touching story of the interaction of a woman and her daughter and their reaction to the beauty of the quilt. This is a must listen to show for every type of woman, to experience the love that is there within them.
