I’m done with wringing my hands, gnashing my teeth, and clutching my pearls.

Every time I engage in these behaviors I relinquish power. I become centered in someone else’s story, and lose track of what’s true for me and everything I care about. I become a puppet of those whose intentions are to rattle, to sow doubt and uncertainty, and to render hopelessness. No more – I’m done.

So I’m going to take heart again, and take huge audacious leaps of faith in our common humanity, purpose, and resilience. We are in a time of great transformation, and I know that we have everything we need. We actually are ready for this – our ancestors have our backs, and our descendants are cheering us on.

We. Have. Everything. We. Need.

Let’s remember that the Earth revolves around the Sun, which is our magnificent, beneficent, and eternal source of life. I call that love, and it is our birthright.

That’s the only real truth I know.

My heart to yours.
