Well, my loves, I had hoped to be writing a very different
post today. I am sad. So, so, so sad. Today is a hard day. But, we are not
defeated. We can still speak loudly and proudly in defense of equality,
compassion, empathy, and love. We can still fight to break down walls instead
of build them up. We can still teach our children how to be kind, empathetic
citizens of this world and that, while sometimes the bully wins, we don’t have
to fight back with hate or sink to his level. We can still go high!
Donald Trump is our president-elect and no amount of angry
posts on Facebook will change that. But, we are not powerless. We have a lot of
work to do. So, take today to cry and pull the covers over your head, if you
need to. Work your stages of loss. And then get up and do something to make
this world better. It’s doesn’t have to be a grand, sweeping force of change. Buy
a homeless person breakfast. Visit a nursing home. Volunteer to clean a park. Give
someone a hug. Anything. Just resist continuing the vitriol that we’ve endured
for the last several months and put something GOOD out there. We can still go
high! And we'll need to now, more than ever!
