Today brought tremendous grief, trauma, and outrage into the world. One hateful human being created the destruction of a war. Prayers, love and light to the families and survivors. A gofundme account has been established for those suffering, injured and left behind. Some of you may know that an account of this kind has been created for Orlando and me. I was so moved, just blanketed in concern, love and hope. The financial support was extremely helpful, but even more than that was the connection to so many people who noticed and wanted to help. A community, a tribe a place of belonging surrounded us. I began to face the sun again with hope.

I have been given an amazing opportunity to show the goodness, love and generosity found in the hearts of so many. This truth belongs to all of us. Connection is the driving force to make his wold a better place. I have noticed when I spend too much alone, a cloud starts to form over me. I feel overwhelmed, not sure which aspect of my life that I need to attend to. When I focus on connection to those that grace my life, my spirit feels revived. I know that I can do this a day at a time.

Today we decided on an apartment. No matter how sparse, I realized how important a nest is. A place to stay and people to share love and kindness makes this a good life. I am okay now, not when the house is rebuilt. A sweet friend sent me this heart today, How perfect ❤️
