if you want to change the world, go home and love your family. - mother teresa every day it gets harder to know the difference between the real world and an snl sketch. every day i drink my coffee and hope that at least the giraffe had her baby. every day i find myself singing along with bono, i can't believe the news today. i can't close my eyes and make it go away. there is oh so much we can do absolutely nothing about. the giraffe baby, for example. it's easy to feel powerless and hopeless and frustrated. but there is oh so much we can absolutely do something about. we can make home a place where love trumps hate. we can make home a place where all are welcome and we are unified in our diversity. we can make home a place where fear dies and truth-telling is met with unconditional acceptance. refuse to feel powerless and hopeless and frustrated. refuse. there is so much good to be gotten. we gotta rise above whatever brings us down. whatever it is. rise above. my mom always says that the best revenge is a life well-lived. redesign your world. love coming home. make home your happy place. xo... christina for all |
