"They tried to bury us.
They didn’t know we were seeds.”
Mexican Proverb

I thought this week welcomed an extra email with some relevant resources. 

To see Hilary's beautiful speech this week makes what happened all the more heartbreaking and mind numbing. Like many, I was up all night with my partner staring at the ceiling feeling confused, sad, unsure, and finally wondering how I can put myself and my network to work. How can I help in the coming days/weeks? 

Chances are you already have several gatherings on your calendar thanks to the holidays.I'm wondering, how can we capture + channel the energy? 

So I wanted to share some resources below (if you're looking) and ask for your input. Please feel free to reply to this email and let me know your plans, comments, etc.

I can offer support and connect those of you who express similar interests. 

If I've learned anything from this week, it's that the spotlight needs each of us more than ever. We are each being called to BE. To BE steadfast in our individual integrity. To BE in our true voice, and use our voices to create a brighter future. 

May the LOVE force be with you.
