Post-Election Reflection

I am a woman. A strong, intelligent, beautiful, serene spirit of a woman. I respect myself and I respect men of high character and integrity.

I am engaged to a Muslim immigrant refugee from a war-torn country. He is a generous, loving person, a hard worker and an asset to the richness of our great country.

I honor the Earth. I see our time here as a blessing and our responsibility to be good stewards, to nurture and attune ourselves with nature. To speak out in Mother Nature's defense.

I believe in kindness and compassion for all people, especially those who are fearful of their circumstance. They need compassion and understanding the most through their scary, stressful times.

I feel the pain of people needing to know that they and their families are safe before they can extend their caring concerns outward towards others. I understand how strong and primal that survival mechanism can be.

So I am committed to being in a state of peaceful acceptance. And I will further commit myself towards efforts and pursuits, in all ways uplifting, towards humanitarian outreach, gender-equality, race-equality, environmental awareness, and the elevation of spiritual consciousness within myself and as best as possible for those around me.
