We are living in truly challenging times. Media reports are filled with grief, loss of stability and what would seem to be a fracture to joyful living. There is sadness resonating in our communities. As we look outward beyond our intimate thresholds, again we are faced with considerable unrest from the after effects of many facets of distress.
These are truths, yet as an evolving organism of humanity we have the choice to rally and face these hurdles with courage and dignity. A clear reality is that the suffering of this era is real and our ability to alleviate the wrongs, injustices, evils, and downright uncertainty that many are facing may elude us. Yet as someone who supported the call for CHANGE AND HOPE echoed throughout the Barack Obama Presidential campaign I hereby choose to step up and encourage others to collaborate with me.
Through the Sharing Stories of Hope project I will seek out thoughtful reflections on facing adversity. The process is simple: conduct interviews that explore inspirational personal stories that allow the reader to discover breathing realities beyond their own. Through this sharing we are all part of a liberation, freeing each other from isolation and encouraging heartfelt compassion for ourselves and the world.
