Ironic. My word for this blog post today was "mend." I had to delete what I had written. I couldn't possibly post words that I presently can not live up to. After Tuesday's election, I reread my thoughts, my words in my blog, and couldn't in good conscience go through and post it. My intent is to only "preach" what I try to practice in my life. Right now, I cannot unfold the true essence and nature of the word, "mend" because the shattered shards of despair and disillusionment are too scattered and far away from a hope of healing. I thought and believed that when the country of America looked at its reflection in the mirror it saw compassion, common decency, and respect...for all. That reflection, instead, is no longer a clear image of such values...the mirror is broken.

i know that when you and i look in the mirror, we see compassion, decency, and respect... thankfully it only takes one person to start a movement, and we can start with two. but first, we take time mend ourselves❤️
