"TO BE FREE IS NOT MERELY TO CAST OFF ONE'S CHAINS, BUT TO LIVE IN A WAY THAT RESPECTS AND ENHANCES THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS"
NELSON MANDELA
There is a gap.
There is the substantial gap between where we are now in the world and where we need to be.
The global pandemic as well as the #BLM movement, effectively happening at the same time, are pointing to the fact that there is a lot of work to be done.
We are all needed, yet we surely cannot do this alone.
We need your strength, we need your gifts, we need your superpowers and most of all we need your compassion.
We must become rocks in our crumbling world.
For effective change we must cultivate momentum, we must rewrite our collective story, we must tend to our overly charged nervous systems and we must transcend what we may think is possible.
Tragedy and trauma give us the opportunity to rebuild something that is much better than before.
While many of us are still digesting all that has happened over the past few months, how we nourish ourselves (body, mind and heart) translates to how able we are to gather our energy and power and stand up for change.
This is big work, quite possibly the most important work of our time.

I hope you enjoy this 4th of July weekend -- along with the full moon and lunar eclipse bonus!.
