As women just trying to keep it all together.
Our grief feels never ending right now. Like there is no bottom. Like there is no one coming to help. And those who suffer most feel unreachable. How do we help and how do we stop the destruction and pain.
What can or SHOULD we do?
How can we exist in relative safety and not feel guilt while children burn and mothers mourn their children’s’ violent deaths?
I don’t know.
Searching deeply, I have a feeling.
And that is that there is small light. A ray- and it comes from our greatest potential - our gifts.
Our gifts, strengths, powers and talents must be given now. With abandon.
We must give and share it all. The world needs all of us to share and light the fire of our strength. Its the LEAST we can do.
That’s all that many of CAN do and it’s actually a lot. And its also the way that we grow as humans.
If we can rise up INTO our creative power and resist the urge to be quiet and small. If we can feel the energy of doing it even if we make mistakes. If we light the fires of change and creation, it can be bigger and stronger than you imagine. Because the ripple effect is endless.

And when it is authentic, it can move mountains.
In a world that rewards destruction and removal, be the creator and contributor to love.
