Community, love, and living outside of our box.
How boring would this world be if we were all the same?
What a gift to walk through life and have very little worries. I’m sure that is exceptionally rare for most.
But what an incredible gift and blessing to walk alongside those who have all the worries in the world, just so they are not alone.
How different would our world look, if those who are capable, would come alongside the hurting and broken to remind them of the importance of who they are and the value that they hold to those around them.
Yes, I am a firm believer in accountability and responsibility and I do not believe that we should have free reign to wreak havoc in the lives around us, but to hold space for compassion and understanding as the person journeys through their trials, has the power to be a gift for every person involved.
Step outside of your box . . . love differently and unconditionally, learn to understand without judgment, condemnation, and assumptions, come alongside the broken, hurting and struggling to see what the power of hope will do.
You are lovely . . . don’t believe the lie
