Something’s happening here in the United States. For the first time, individuals and corporations and a few politicians are willing to look at long-held beliefs and invite change.
Today is Juneteenth. A day of promise and hope — promise and hope that the United States did not deliver.
And yet, here we are, still trying.
Here we are, over 150 years later, incrementally acknowledging our failures — and endeavoring to do better.
Here we are still having to say Black and Brown Lives Matter.
Many businesses have declared Juneteenth a holiday.
And so today, instead of writing a long blog, I am going to take a holiday, too. And instead of writing, I’m going to look at how this heart-centered practice of we can contribute to the change I want to be in the world.
Will you join me?
