Free to Be You and Me (November 2022 Newsletter)
As human beings, we have endless privileges. In fact, we have so many that we let them just come and go, and do not utilize them at all. It's a bit like those coupons for freebies we mean to use, but don't. We get caught up daily in various time consuming, mind numbing or mind draining activities that our lives don't get to enjoy most of its wonders. One lifetime is too short to enjoy it all, but it's a good start. What if we didn't have those rights? Recent research is bringing to light the horrible plight of those who don't have the freedom to enjoy the life we take for granted.
It's a small act that can allow every single person to have equal opportunities in life. That is not to say things will suddenly change overnight. But YOU must take a step in the right direction. Plan to vote this November. Go today if you have the time. Election Day is coming up shortly, but you don't have to wait. VOTE! Don't let your chance to really create a good life for all citizens slip away. Many have died to gain the freedom that is the cornerstone of America.
Being human in a civilized society means you need to be humane. Think carefully before you vote. Don't be led by anyone, and don't only think of your personal interests and needs.
Vote from your heart where truth resides, along with love, compassion and honesty.
Namaste,
