This morning I have written and deleted, written and deleted multiple times, trying to find the right analogies to use to not offend anyone. I couldn’t figure out how to show my support for one group without implying my disdain for others, and vice versa. I have been blessed with a sound mind. My journey has not been an easy one. Transitioning to a butterfly seldom is. I think things through and am often slow to action. Seldom do I apologize for things I have done, because quite frankly, I more than likely thought it out. Because I chose to do the things I do, or don’t do, I am willing to accept the consequences of my actions, and inactions. With that, I say this, I am tired! My heart is breaking over the hate in the world. It has become a very dark place and I cannot stand by quietly without action.
So today, moving forward, I will focus on putting light back into the world. I may not shine bright enough to light up the entire world, but I will do my best to shine bright enough to light the path of those I lead. I have postponed some projects, while focusing heartily on others. I have decided to write lighthearted and positive works, some jointly with my children and grandchildren. Let’s set the light on high and see how it shines on the ones we love!! Love and light to you all.
