I want to share this post written by my dear friend, Tonja O’Campo. I think she captures well our call to listen to and help one another, especially during the holiday season.
“You never know what someone carries everyday. What it takes for them to get out of the bed. To face another day. To not have anyone to talk to. To not see their value. Love one another. Especially now. During the holidays when love is suppose to be the focus of the season. Be the reason someone feels wanted, loved, needed, appreciated, and valued. That’s a priceless gift that has everlasting rewards! I don’t have to chose love. I am love. Rip to all that we’ve failed already and I love you to all that feel unimportant!! Contact me. Let’s talk about it. Let’s cry about it. Let’s love about it. You are special you are loved.”
