One
reason why I love blogging is this platform gives me an outlet for
what really matters to me. This post isn’t about Nancy C. Weeks, the author,
but just Nancy.
I
turned on the news early this morning then immediately turned it off. I
then went on to Facebook to see what was going on there, and closed
that. There are moments when it feels as if hate/obsession/injustice rules us
all, and there isn’t a kind soul amongst us. My sweet mom would say that is how
evil manifests itself into our lives, making us believe that love/compassion/forgiveness have no power. I'm here today to remind you that
love will always overpower hate, goodness will always overpower evil, and
there is hope for a better tomorrow for all of us. Pope Frances expresses it so much more eloquently
than I ever could.
“A tiny flicker of light
that feeds on hope is enough to shatter the shield of darkness. A single
individual is enough for hope to exist, and that individual can be you. And
then there can be another you, then another you and it turns into us.”
His Holiness, Pope Francis

This is me paying attention. I will do everything I can to preserve the beauty of our world. I'm empowered to be the woman who is comfortable in her own skin, who
recognizes the best in everyone, who cares about her neighbor regardless of the
color of their skin, who they pray to or who they choose to love, and always
has a smile to share. I refuse to be powerless, I have a voice. "Hope is the key." We are all unique, we all have good in us, and we can change our world.
Hugs to all,
Nancy
