Every inch of it. I'm thankful for the life that I have had - the highs, the lows, the hard times and the times that have shown me that America is the most brilliant of countries.
This is why I am so distraught. To see the bright possibilities that were just beginning to take root, to see people evolving into acceptance of all types of human beings. To see enlightenment beginning to happen in my lifetime, even though some were being dragged kicking and screaming into it
And then to watch as those baby souls who fear change more than anything, take their darkness and with one last mighty shove, try to push it all off a cliff and destroy the progress we made and knock us back 50 years.
I know this is temporary. I know that this time of darkfear is going to be shattered by the energy of the next powerful light worker, and that we will again, pick up the pieces and move forward, always evolving. But it is very hard right now for those of us who have felt that HOPE.
This is America. We are who we are because of brave souls who have faced hatred, racism, violence, greed and even death - all in order to live as we deserve to live, free. To love who we want to love, free. To worship as we wish to worship, free. I have to tell myself this every day, because the darkness has its own very powerful magnetic energy. It is easy to be carried away with negativity because it is everywhere! People are being mass brainwashed and it is horrifying to watch.
I love my country and I know we will see brighter days, because we have SEEN them. I hope that we will have learned also, that this American dream is very fragile, and we have to make sure it is rock solid with support and a strong strong foundation. we can NEVER let this happen again!
What we need right now, is a someone to step forward and to start to lead this grieving majority. There are millions who have been waiting for over a year for someone to give us hope again. We need to get our sparkle back. I want to remember THIS America:
