What a great piece, Vanessa. I am well too aware of what fear can do - on a personal level and those I work with around stepping into their voices. And, you are absolutely right about the aim of the people currently in power in this United States. They want to make us afraid so we give them more power. "The cities are hellscapes! Let us get in there and make them safer" kind of BS. AND, I couldn't agree more about your antidote. Fierce, active love - of those close to us, of our friends, families, communities, countries, the earth. The whole thing. I can't join the call tonight, but wanted to pop in here and say thank you for this post and for the work you're doing. 💗🙏🏻🌺✨
Oh Diane I so totally agree with you. And thank you thank you for writing this. Our posts don't get a ton of engagement just yet so this is beyond priceless. The feedback and support is really helpful and lovely. And your comment too just in general.
The zoom tonight was great. Next week's topics are similar so it will be really good grounding and starting places. I'm interested to see what we build given the challenges and also just who shows up and decides to dig in on this particular set of connections and community. ❤️
