Now n Past

“The world has changed drastically since those days of trick or treating in my friendly little neighborhood. We are working more and playing less. Texting instead of talking. Commuting instead of communing. As we move toward the future, with the help of all of the incredible technology at our fingertips, let’s be mindful to carry forward what has served us so well in the past. Maybe the trick is in treating ourselves to a little more in-person talking — and just a little less tweeting.”

There are common threads that connect us as human beings and as women…they are subtle, often unspoken…but we know they are there. If we find the courage to ask, ask and listen, ask, listen and expose our own soft spots, we find that we are made of similar stuff. Our fears, our hopes, our dreams…are kin that connect us like maiden names and dna.
I believe with all my heart and soul that those common threads are the foundation for courage. When we know we are not alone, when we find a heart we can trust, a soul that recognizes our own, we are more likely to  stand up, to speak up and to show up.
