To my friends in Canada celebrating Thanksgiving I wish you a good day of feasting, family and fun. Be mindful of the past but work for reconciliation and change wherever it’s needed. Grace and peace True North. Strong and free, Oh Canada!
I am not OK. You are not OK. None of us is OK. Now that we have that established we are all humans in need of healing. We all have different ways of getting help. The reality of it all is that being honest about how we are feeling can get us closer to being whole.
As a human believer, I am not perfect and sometimes the divine has to step in to give me comfort and assurance. Just because you believe in God doesn’t mean you are free from the troubles of the world. Sometimes life is about going through troubles and having the creator walk with you through it all.
No matter what, just hang in there. Know that there are people out there to encourage you. Hope is also a powerful thing. Also, there is that thing called love where many of us are going to know they will make it knowing that no one is OK. OK.
Grace and peace to you all my friends.
I’m vaxed and boosted for my family and friends and others. Now covering the omicron and other variants.
A couple of funny things to hopefully give you a laugh.
On a recent trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida I noticed something I had never noticed before. It’s a wonderful place where girls and women have a place of empowerment. The feminine force there is palpable. As a man, I am not threatened by it.
At Disney, you see girls of all ages dressing the part of their heroes in anticipation of going to the park and being there to experience the magic they most want to experience. The concept of Disney princesses and even queens is reality. It’s quite inspirational to see if you ask me.
It’s great to have a place where imagination and dreaming are the rules rather than the exception. The world is a better place for that. It would be great if every world women and girls could have the freedom to just be who they can be a Disney.
Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it’s enough.
