“I feel heartbroken and gutted.
But I won’t look away. And, I ask that you continue to look pain in the eye.
We absolutely need to lean into the joy, laughter, beauty, love, and connection in our lives. As much and as often as we can.
And, when called, we need to stand with those in pain. We need to make sure that when we see a heart breaking, we bare our own broken heart and stand together so we know that, even in the midst of struggle, we’re not alone. Even if our stories are different, broken, bruised and skinned hearts recognize each other, and when they come together they have the power to heal and create change.”
