Honoring the 186th Anniversary of Emancipation in Belize
|
|
|
|
|
This month, we gather to commemorate the 186th Anniversary of Emancipation in Belize. On this occasion, let us pay homage to the indigenous peoples who occupied this region for thousands of years before us. Their presence and legacy are deeply woven into the fabric of Belize and our region.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We pay tribute to Belizeβs Creole and Garinagu populations, whose African ancestors, uprooted from Mother Africa, endured unspeakable suffering. We give thanks to the leaders, allies, and brave men and women of those times, as well as those of today and tomorrow, whose actions, oral traditions, writings, and research have forged the path to Emancipation Day.
As we delve into our past this month, let's contemplate the immense struggle for emancipation. Emancipation in Belize was achieved through actions both at the top and from the bottom, through the resistance of enslaved Africans.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At Big Creek Group, we celebrate and affirm our unwavering commitment to freedom and the rich, shared African heritage of Belize, Central America, and the Caribbean. Let's take this time to reflect on our history and honor the enduring spirit of resilience and liberation.

Caring for your Mental Health
|
|
|
|
|
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, act, make choices, and relate to others. Mental health is more than the absence of a mental illnessβitβs essential to your overall health and quality of life. Self-care can play a role in maintaining your mental health and help support your treatment and recovery if you have a mental illness.

August's tip to help you get started is: Practice Inner Work π
|
|
|
|
|
On my Inner Work days, I focus on nurturing my mind, body, and environment. This mix of activities helps me stay balanced and centered. I might exercise or take a yoga class to energize my body, journal or meditate to clear my mind, and organize cluttered spaces that create stress or tension, like a messy desk. These practices not only help me feel more relaxed and focused but also create a positive and productive atmosphere.
Prioritizing inner work is a key part of maintaining overall well-being. πΏπ§ββοΈβ¨

STORY TIME - Be Wise While Counting
|
|
|
|
|
Once upon a time, there was an old farmer who had two sons. He wanted to divide his land equally between his two sons.
One day he called both of them and asked them to count the number of sheep on the farm. The elder son said that he would count them himself while the younger one said that he would take help from his friend.
The elder son started counting the sheep and after some time he gave up thinking that there were too many to count. But the younger one managed to finish the task quickly by getting help from his friend.
