#63 - Love in action and our collective power
On my spiritual journey, I've come to see that while "love and light" are essential, they alone cannot create the positive change we yearn to see in the world.
In this episode, I share the pivotal point at which I realised that love is not passive in the face of injustice, but the active force that can shape our world when put into action.
I also share a little known story of how myself and the original co-founders of a community volunteer flood recovery effort were bullied by government agencies to stop in our early days.
But we didn't stop. And what unfolded serves as a reminder of the profound impact of standing up for what is right and the incredible power that lies within collective action.
My heartbreak over the current situation in the Middle East has only grown over this past month. It's not enough to be a passive observer; we need to take action. We need to use our voices and our privilege to advocate for peace and an end to the occupation of Palestine.
I want to inspire you believe in the power we have when we unite in action with love as a guiding force, knowing that together, we have the ability to create positive change on a global scale.
