How are you doing?

Dear Friends,

Hello.

Happy Thursday.

I wanted to do a quick reach out to let you know you matter. 

I’ve been thinking about the elections today and recognizing just how unempowering so many of our systems are.

I know.
Not surprising news actually.

And
I am writing to remind you---- you and I----we the 99% have power too!

Right now.

The power to choose to be kind to someone we don’t agree with.

The power to risk being curious instead of judgmental.

The power to offer support to someone in need.

The power to ask for support if we need something.

The power to engage in taking care of the more than human world.

The power to offer our love and care to other species.

The power to shift our thoughts from unhelpful to helpful ones.

The power to dream  and act towards a world that works for all.

And on and on...

So much power to be had.
Let's not wait around for elections to be decided.
You and I are powerful.

So don’t throw it away. 

Use it today.

Be empowered.

Be the beautiful change you want to see in the world.

Take good care!

Love,

Carol
