I was taught to never question Him. I have always stood strong in my faith. But today, as I continue to process, I question Him. I question everything. I question how our constitution allows a convicted felon, rapist, racist, sexual predator, traitor, etc., to even run for president as a role model, especially for our young people.
So are we saying to our younger generations that it’s OK to lie, cheat, steal and to be a predator because there will be no punishment and you can even become the president of the United States?!
I try to be very impartial when I post about politics, but I know I am not alone in the way that I’m feeling today. Betrayed. Confused. Alone.
I always teach my clients and my children to look for the positive in every situation.
So here is my small take away. Reds engaged in an insurrection when their candidate lost. Blues became silent and practiced beautiful acceptance with dignity and grace.
Take away – I’m proud to be a blue Democrat and I’m proud of the way we are loving and supporting each other through this very surreal and difficult time.
To my children…
My dearest son, daughters and granddaughters…
I’m so sorry that you were born into a world with so much evil.
But I implore you to think about all of the beautiful things that we have and encourage you to concentrate on your own life, to stay in your own lane, and to create your own way.
Enjoy your friends, travel, your family, your job and your treasured relationships that are meaningful to you. Practice daily self care. Do all of the things that are healthy for you and bring you happiness. And don’t wait another minute to do so. As you can see, life is precious, and it is fleeting. Most importantly, my dear loved ones, please do not be bitter. Bitterness only creates discourse in your body and in your mind.
Yes, take time to process and to grieve for the loss of our democracy and freedom.
Lead the way through by loving each other and staying close. Put humanity and love over hate. And there are no better words to live by for us at this time than to live “one day at a time.“
I love you all so much. I’m so sorry for us all.
Live your life with dignity, integrity, love and grace.
Love always, Mom/Grandma
