This month’s theme is: (radical) love 🖤
Make no mistake - not “love” like “it’s Valentine’s Day!”, pretending like everything is okay, or just talking about “peace, love, and light”. But “love” in the way that all that is heavy around us right now probably comes down to a lack of love, kindness, and compassion. Isn’t more loving-kindness for each other the base of what is needed right now?
Love, too, can be behind radical disruption, activism, and even our anger and fear. I saw a post (I wish I had saved it to give the creator credit!) that said all these big feelings many of us are feeling - anger, fear, etc. they are really rooted in love. Love for the friends, family, and neighbors whose safety we fear for, anger at the systems that allow/perpetuate/intend to harm innocent people, families, and children.
I have to believe that the people making these decisions and orchestrating all of this, the people in masks violently kidnapping people out of their homes and schools, these are humans who have lost their innate sense of love and compassion. I have to believe if we keep doing this work of raising children who genuinely love themselves and love all their fellow humans, we will be creating a more compassionate, just world.
Maybe you feel like me, like you’re not doing enough to fight the injustice going on (which has been going on for much longer than this administration). We can’t let that paralyze us in a state of freeze, being overwhelmed, not sure how we can possibly make an impact. Let us *start* by acknowledging the work that I know many of you are already doing, pouring your love and energy into raising conscious, caring humans who make decisions rooted in love. That in itself is impactful. And we can then continue to support each other in navigating how to do *both* the work of fighting for social justice and raising kids. Drop in the comments how you have been activating, organizing, and fighting back while being a parent! 💗
This month may we:
🖤 Move through the world and make decisions that are rooted in love for all, love for ourselves, and hope for collective liberation
🖤 Continue guiding our kids to do the same
