This year, there are special reasons we all want to hold our
family and friends close. Between hurricanes, the murder of small children,
threats of economic collapse or apocalyptic events, we have more than enough to
shake our confidence in the future.
Yet, it is in our nature to face forward, to look
relentlessly to a new day. If this was not so, we, as a species, would have
fallen at the first hurdle.
We rely on one another as well as our faith in the positive
reinforcement of our beliefs, our own creativity and strength of purpose. Our
courageous struggle to survive against horrific events is a testament to our
humanity and sense of community.
Heart-rending and heart-warming personal stories have
touched and inspired us over the past months. Those who have lost and those
who’ve found, express their grief and relief in one word. Love.
The most devastating events bring an outpouring of love
toward our fellow humans, regardless of race or creed. At these times, we
recognize our shared vulnerability and this is our strength.
And so, we encourage one another to acts of kindness, random
and profound.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a New Year full of the
love and kindness in all our hearts.
Merry Christmas!

Leigh,
Thank you. Your post today is especially poignant to me and I thank you for putting into words what I could not. Here's to a more peaceful, more loving 2013.
Thank you, Gina. Sometimes the right words are there when you need them. A gentler world is worth working for.
Merry Christmas,

Thank you, Leigh, for saying exactly what we need to hear and remember now. I second Gina's wish for a more peaceful, loving 2013.
