Hello dear Heathershenhouse My thoughts? Violence is not justice, it's revenge. CHANGE is justice. How can we make real and lasting change? Here are just a few suggestions.... 1 The world changes when we change how we spend our dollars. Vegan products are readily available everywhere simply because vegans buy these products. If we didn't by them, they wouldn't make them. Your dollar is BOSS. So support businesses that align with your values! 2 Stop complaining and kvetching on Facebook and start doing something to actually make a difference. Complaining only adds to the negativity. 3 Invite people over to share a meal with you. Sharing food and conversation is more healing than anyone realizes. 4 Volunteer, serve, help. Mr Rogers mother always told him to "look for the helpers" in scary times. Contact a local non-profit and volunteer your time, resources or money. 5 Do random acts of kindness whenever you can! Buy coffee for the guy behind you, send surprise gifts, call elderly people, provide a home cooked meal to someone who can't get out of their home or invite a single military person over for a home cooked meal, cut out paper hearts and leave them on your neighbors doors, or bring flowers to sick people. Really, this list is limitless. 6 Speak softly so people will lean in to listen. I know it seems like the loudest among us get the most attention but it's fleeting. If you want people to listen and take you seriously for the long haul, speak softer, kinder and thoughtfully. 7 Turn off the news. No matter which source you watch, they've all got an agenda and honestly, it's just terrible to put that much negativity in your brain. and finally... LOVE HARD because the world needs it. I love you! I'm still offering a sliding scale for coaching so if you need support....... BOOK NOW! I'm offering "pay what you can" coaching sessions. It's a sliding scale and YOU decide what to pay.
