This week’s Resonance Roll Call came down to a tie at the top. 👀🔥 Big love to @M. a. Dennis, @Ericka Floyd, and @Naomie Thomas for holding down the Top 3 week after week. And our honorable mentions are @Mick Collins, @Craven Smith, @Michelle Cox@Cynthia Jacob. Thank you for keeping your names in the mix. Week after week, the board changes, but the consistency keeps speaking for itself. 🖤✨

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. 💜 This is for the survivors, the children who heard too much, the loved ones who watched someone they care about disappear inside survival, and the people still learning what safety feels like. Domestic violence doesn’t always leave visible evidence, and leaving doesn’t always mean the impact leaves with you. Healing can look like finding your voice again, redefining love, relearning safety, setting boundaries, and choosing peace without apology. If one of the writing prompts speaks to you, write from where you are. You don’t have to explain everything, relive everything, or share more than you’re ready to. Let the prompt open the door only as far as you choose. See the signs. Believe survivors. Share the resources. Protect the vulnerable. Make room for healing. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth #InTheNameOfFaith #SouthernSeoulSpeaks #BelieveSurvivors #FaithSpeaksDifferent

(Activity) Open Expression (Exercise) Create freely in response to the week. Any form. Any length. Any Topic. You Choose. Follow Momentum.  Here’s My Offering (Example): Music Soul-child asks to teach him how to love. But Stevie Wonder says did you know that true love ask for nothing. Her acceptance is the way we pay. The Spinners say, it takes a fool— to learn— that love don’t love nobody. A mighty love. Don’t you know we love you, sweet Sadie. Teddy Pendergrass says, it looks like another love TKO. He also says “I don’t love you anymore.” The Bible says God is love. Pat Benatar says love is a battlefield. Donna Summer says love to love you, baby. Tina Turner says, what love got to do with it. Lionel Richie says, Jesus is love. The Isley Brothers says, if you can’t be with the one you love, honey— love the one you with. Aretha says, I ain’t never loved a man. The Beatles say, can’t buy me love. The O’jays say “People all over the world— join hands. Start a love train, a love train.” Miki Howard says she’s in love under new management. The Pretenders say, it’s a thin line between love and hate. Luther Vandross says in the glow of love. I think love has been talked about too much. Perhaps due to all of her different personalities. Maybe she has a mental disorder. They say that love makes you do crazy things. Maybe because love is mentally challenged. Yet she’s powerful. She definitely be pulling some serious mind control on people. She’s a scary entity. Yet we Gamble with our heart and take a chance at her anyway. Now you Follow The Flow.
