honor yourself: holding light

holding light

i have thought for days on something to offer from my heart
about the nigerian school girls.

it affects us all in the deepest hardest way.
i've got nothing to offer but my heart.
it's quite heavy.

i feel helpless and sad.
and yet i know that i have to concentrate on things like sending them light.

so i thought i'd take the blog space today for a moment of holding them close.

will you do that with me?
close your eyes and send them light with me.....

holding and holding and holding......

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
