Oh Julia, this is my heart's first and authentic reaction. Oh, my heart, would be the second. This ache I feel when I read this or when I remember tragedies of my own family and then my own, every single time my heart breaks a bit. It is so hard sometimes to choose to continue and to choose love - I dont see people who esentually are Love turn into hate or revenge or violence (maybe it happens, I dont see it often), but I do see giving up and losing light, being like a candle without flame. But yes, if we want Love and Life to stay, we need to, each of us, choose every single day to serve Love. For the sake of us, planet and our children. I recently learnt though that protecting our own light is of equal importance as giving it to others - we need to choose our tribe where giving light becomes fire and eventually (hopefully) will be stronger in one moment then darkness. However, if we give a way love to people that are deeply in darkness by making decisions not to serve love, it will weaken love as such and devastates us more. I am still learning this. But I do beleive that tenderness can and will save the world.

You and your message are a gift to us all. I want to engage in those conversations too, to listen, to help you spread this message of love and compassion, profoundly needed in our families and communities. I don't see any other way and I am deeply thankful there are people like you in my life, it makes me feel hopeful, inspired, and motivated.
