During a recent speech, Erica Kirk made an unusual wording choice while speaking about her husband.
Just prior to the remark, her iPad shut off due to a dead battery, leaving her without prepared remarks. She then continued speaking from memory rather than reading from a script.
Shortly after, she said: “Once my husband was assassinated…”
In standard English usage, “once” is typically used to indicate sequence or anticipation… something expected to occur before the next event happens.
Examples of common anticipation-based usage:
“Once you finish dinner, you can have dessert.”
“Once the meeting ends, we’ll talk.”
“Once the paperwork is approved, the process moves forward.”
“Once he arrives, we’ll begin.”
By contrast, unexpected or traumatic events are normally described using “when” or “after.”
There comes a moment in life when you realize that some hearts will never truly hear you—no matter how clearly you speak, no matter how vulnerably you open your soul. It’s a tender, bruising truth: people can stand right in front of you and still miss the essence of what you’re trying to share. Their ears catch the words, but their fears, wounds, or defenses twist them into something unrecognizable. And in that distortion, you feel the sting of being unseen.
For so long, I carried that sting like a heavy stone in my chest. I’d replay conversations, searching for the perfect phrase I might have missed—the one that could finally bridge the gap. I’d explain myself again and again, softer this time, louder the next, hoping that persistence would crack open their understanding. But each attempt only left me more exhausted, more diminished, as if my truth had to be shrunk or reshaped to fit into their narrow view.
Then, slowly, the deeper pain revealed itself: not just the misunderstanding, but the quiet desperation beneath it—the longing to be fully known, to have my experiences validated by the very people who couldn’t (or wouldn’t) see them. Why did I keep pouring my light into vessels that were already sealed shut? Why did I let their limitations dim my own?
The turning point was a gentle surrender. I stopped trying to force the connection. I stopped believing that my worth depended on their comprehension. It hurt at first—this release—like pulling away from a warmth that was never truly there. Tears came, not from anger, but from grieving the illusion that I could make someone understand if I just tried harder.
In letting go, something profound unfolded. I began to feel the weight lift. My energy, once scattered in endless justifications, returned to me. I stood taller in my own knowing, no longer pleading for permission to exist as I am. There is a fierce, quiet strength in this: honoring your truth without demanding that others mirror it back.
You don’t owe anyone your exhaustion. You don’t need to teach emotional depth to those who aren’t ready to learn it. Your story, your feelings, your perspective—they are valid in their fullness, even if they echo unanswered in someone else’s silence.
True understanding can’t be wrested or begged for; it arrives on its own, softly, when hearts are open. And those who are meant to see you will. They will meet you in the depth without you having to pull them there.
So breathe out the need to be heard by everyone. Release the ache of proving yourself. Hold your truth close, like a sacred flame, and let it illuminate your path instead of burning you out trying to light someone else’s darkness.
In this letting go, you reclaim your peace. You rediscover the beauty of being whole unto yourself. And you walk forward lighter, deeper, freer—knowing that your light shines not for approval, but because it is yours to carry.
We weren’t born to hide. We are born of fire, earth and ancestral memory.
Inside every woman lives a warrior goddess: -she who falls and gets up, -she who dances on the embers without fear, -she who turns pain into power and wound into wisdom.
We are holy fire. We are ritual in motion. We are ancient force awakening in this time.
✨ Remember who you are today. ✨ Honor your body, your history, and your lineage. ✨ Walk with your head held high: your energy is invincible.
🔥 We are goddesses. We are warriors. We are light incarnate. 🔥
The Root of ALL evil, the root of the matrix, is the Khazarian Mafia, who belong to the Cult of Ba’al.
These are the trader-killer tribes of Russian and Turkish ancestry that makes up the bloodlines 98% of modern day STATE of isn’t-real, every elite family and out penal system matrix. They created the revolutionary war, the genocide of Native Americans, the drug wars and ghetto, and so on basically everything in this world that that’s broken is because of what they call themselves, “The Family”
These Satan sun-god worshipping eaters of children, blood drinkers and sorcerers of Byzantine black money magic that they print on the fake money (Federal reserve notes), need to be known by everyone. This is where Lucifer gets his strength.
Even though its pure speculation, the alleged niece of Epstein, flat out said, we presented as Jews, but behind closed doors I was taught to worship Ba’al/Moloch… (bohemian grove).
When you watch this documentary, the title posted in this reel can be found on YouTube in two parts, you will understand EXACLY why “isn’t-real” want to kill all the citizens of Palestine. It’s the final piece to this ancient puzzle.
Some people say your success was just an accident, luck.
They will never admit it was because you tried, tried, tried again. You never gave up, and success was finally achieved.
That’s the way it always happens in the “natural world”.
The others, who get “instant” results, are just manipulators, often thieves and abusers, not successful creators of solutions through genuine, persistent effort on one’s own supply.
Of course the manipulator will whine about your achievements and successes. They’ll insist it’s a hoax.
This is why churches, temples, synagogues and any place of worship needs clear, comprehensive and effective abuse prevention policies-both for how it handles disclosures of abuse by its members or discovery of abuse by its leaders.
Much like schools, these organizations need to have accountability measures and its members must be the ones who demand transparency of those policies.
Otherwise abuse continues to be done in secrecy, abusers are protected and institutions are shielded from consequences for violating their duty of care.
Children deserve us having these difficult conversations so they can be protected.
I found out what it is that’s been driving me mad There’s no room to breathe between the good and the bad A crush in-between, there’s a thin, thin line But just ’round the corner, there’s a change in design
I wish I could walk away And dig what the preachers say But those words don’t satisfy me no more
There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world
Just fifty more years, we’re all gonna know Why, when, where, how, and who gets to go So let’s all have a good time before the great divide ‘Cause things will start separating come 2025
So look for the subtle clues It won’t make the front-page news That depends upon which side that you choose
There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world, yeah There’s a crack There’s a crack in the world
Dear Women, have you ever realized how powerful your thoughts are for the man in your life?
Saka Ana Lorenza, a Kogi Saka and spiritual leader, speaks about the quiet but immense importance of women in the lives of their men. She explains that it is not only what women do or say that shapes a man’s path, but also what they think about him in the privacy of their own mind.
When a woman holds thoughts of trust, respect and blessing for her partner, this creates a field of support around him. Even when she is not physically present, he can walk with more strength, clarity and courage. Her inner agreement becomes a kind of spiritual protection that helps him move through obstacles and stay connected to his purpose.
When her thoughts are filled with constant criticism, disappointment or contempt, even if she never speaks them aloud, this too has an effect. The relationship may begin to feel heavy. Conflicts appear without a clear reason. Success may be blocked in subtle ways.
According to Saka Ana Lorenza, many women do not realize how central their inner stance is for the wellbeing of the man and for the harmony of the family.
This is not about blame. It is an invitation to remember the sacred influence that women carry. Their love and their clarity are not small. They are forces that can either nourish or weaken the life that grows around them.
The Kogi see relationship as a spiritual responsibility that both partners share. And the thoughts of the woman are one of its deepest foundations.
May your thoughts become a blessing for you and for those you love.
