Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

Seashore Farmers' Lodge |
Earnest Parks |
The Lodge Needing Repair |
I met Earnest several years ago at a Civil War enactment. He and the rest of the soldiers representing the 54th Infantry were in various stages of uniforms. Some were obtained from the dead and others made do with what they found and had. I enjoyed sitting with them for hours listening to them discuss how things were at that time in language used by freed and former slaves.
This is what Sol Legare Community was all about. A place where freed slaves settled and where their generations maintained the pride and history that kept them together. The Seashore Farmers’ Lodge was the meeting place. Now a museum it celebrates the 150-year old Sol Legare Community in a preserved and historical position on the National Register of Historic Places.
