Hope is what we are holding onto right now, in the midst of hate and fear. Thank you for reminding us that we are stronger together as a community! Love will indeed win the day.
Thank you for this post and it is spot on how I see things, no light without darkness, we need to be the light. Thank you from the Netherlands, Europe, we stand by you brave ones speaking our agsinst misuse of power. Love your art inspirations too 🩷
“Love is what makes us great.” Thank you for using your voice, sharing your experiences, and reminding us all to keep on loving despite the hate and fear and prejudice and division. Beauty and wonder will save the world 💖
Thank you for putting it so eloquently yet real. I'm a Canadian that lives near the border and would go there a couple times a month. I have not gone there since things have been tense and things are intense now. I miss the people who ran the little shops ( especially the quilting store) . I am deeply concerned for Americans and Canadians. I have a lot of family from several states and our communication to one another has increased. It's a terrible way to strengthen our family but we are all one.
Having loved one affected can be so challenging. I hope that the community we build in the dark will flourish into something much more beautiful than we can now imagine in the light.
Thank you so much. I'm sitting here crying. My home is being brutalized because of hate. I want to be creative and see the light. I'm trying for hope. Thank you.
I am SO sorry Tammara. Livid. Heart-broken. Stunned. I wish I could jump in my car and come in person. One day. My whole feed is MN these days. My heart is with you. If it would ever be helpful to jump on a zoom... we can do that. I'm here to support in any way I can. All my love.
Not only am I NOT unfollowing, I'm "digging in" deeper and acknowledging your beautiful writing with a "hell yeah"! We all can take a page from your book and take a stand against the injustices that are occurring right now in our beloved country.
Heather, THANK you! Gosh, this really means the world. I didn't risk my life for years overseas to stay quiet at home. I'm working on a book right now that I hope will help people lean into wonder and creativity as a way to take compassionate action. I am so glad you are here.
Beautifull words and thoughtfully written! Thank you for your peaceful and personal perspective! I live in Minnesota, close to Minneapolis and am happy to say we are a community who gathers to help our neighbors in need in these troubling times, all while being peaceful in our protest and the ones who really are stepping up are our heroes! I'm praying for all these people who are protecting these children and their parents from ICE making them disappear. It's honestly quite surreal and frightening to witness!

You're so welcome. Thank you for being here!

AGREED! I refuse to let the cruelty make me cruel or change who I am. 🥰
Thank you for adding your voice.

I too have lived in war-torn Africa, and the news today in my own country feels far too familiar… and horribly, horribly sad and egregious.
It's almost surreal. I have so much hope seeing how communities are joining together.

Wendi, I imagine it would be so distressing, to say the least. My heart goes out to you and your neighbors. Thank you so much for your encouragement.
Thank you for having the courage to write this.
Thank you for your encouragement. Truly.
