Today we lost another hero, friend, and icon of hope for thousands of men, women, and children across the globe.
known for his portrayals of real-life historical figures such as Jackie Robinson in 42 (2013), James Brown in Get on Up (2014) and Thurgood Marshall in Marshall (2017), and for his portrayal of the superhero Black Panther in the Marvel Cinematic Universe films Captain America: Civil War (2016), Black Panther (2018), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), Avengers: Endgame (2019).
“It can be easy to get caught up in the bigger picture, in beating yourself down if you haven’t achieved the larger hopes, goals, and dreams you aspire to. But, every journey takes steps and every foot forward, no matter how small it might seem, is important and it matters.
Sometimes even something that may seem simple, like getting out of bed or doing that little bit of laundry when you’ve been depressed, is important and a crucial bit of moving forward. It’s okay to celebrate that, it’s okay to take that moment to be proud of yourself for doing a little better, for trying a bit harder then you might have the day before.
I had one of those weird half awake half asleep thoughts the other night about dream service dogs that show up when you’re having a nightmare and show you the way back to a better dream. Had to draw them up!
They’re all available as stickers and other goodies on my Redbubble!

“Sometimes you have to figure out for yourself what the pledge to protect others really means. It's not always just about Archdemons and Blights."
“You are who you choose to follow.' Someone told me that once. Took me years to understand what he meant."
"Because they remember honor and sacrifice, words that have little meaning to the rest of us. Because they lay down their lives for those they have sworn to protect. We all need to believe there are such men in the world. I needed to believe I could be one of them."
“We could make the world better. It's just easier to shut our eyes."
“It's not right... to want to do good, to be good, and have that turned against you."
At the heart of it, all a Warden is, is a promise. To protect others... even at the cost of your own life.
“I always preferred monsters to Gods. Monsters don’t hide their ugly behind a veneer of perfection. They don’t pretend piety and benevolence when their intention is to devour. You can see a monster for who he is. I have never been able to say that about a God.”
“So do you know yet?”
“Know what?”
“If you are the monster…or the God.”
Nikita Gill, Extracts from The Great Goddess Project
