Have you ever felt SO sure and CLEAR about some things in your life, and yet wandering around in muck and sludge in other areas?

For me, it’s the people I love, what I’m meant to contribute to the world from a sense of humility AND fierceness, being BOLD.

After Mom’s death, I created a (short) one-woman solo show called, “Good Grief,” in which I explored my grief, the suddenness of losing Mom way too soon, and not having all the answers (do we ever?).

At the end of the show, I promised Mom, speaking from my truest self after a cast of internal characters had weighed in, that I’d

BE BOLD.

As eleven years since Mom’s death approaches, I’m sitting with this.

Have I been true to my word?

With the chaotic nature of these times, I need to lean into what’s possible, what’s kind, what matters.

It’s not to look away, no.

If we all leaned into how we can make the world a better place, (at the risk of sounding naiive and polyanna), would it matter?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO, and what are you doing?

“Darkness cannot drive out

darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only

love can do that.”

Love welcome ❤️.

Let’s blot out this hate.
