Solidarity

I get by with a little help from my friends. Literally. Whether it is folks working to get me my cell phone that I left somewhere (again today!), someone offering me a drink or shoulder when I'm stressed or traumatized, or a mentor or friend offering me whatever support or guidance I need to grow, I have become the person I am today because of a positivity brilliant network that surrounds me. That is why I feel called to support others whenever and however I can. To me, that is the beauty of the world: We are all stronger together. The moments when that sentiment shines most brightly are the moments when I feel most inspired. I was gifted by two strong examples from Facebook in the past day. First, one from the Civil Rights Movement:

and then one from our modern Civil Rights Movement (https://instagram.com/p/5nnD6PrBi_/?taken-by=workingfamilies).  Mother Teresa said that, "If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other." What I try to offer the world is an intentionality about remembering.
