This past weekend there were two more mass shootings. No matter how often they occur, we must never consider them "normal." People shopping for back to school are not meant to be targets for someone's hatred, no matter what.
So, this week, I invite you to let people in government know what you think about gun violence. This blog won't tell you what to write. It will tell you how to identify your elected officials, locally, statewide and nationally. Please, sit for a bit, quietly, and touch into your deepest, dearest values. Then ask yourself, what would my core values have me say to people in government? Having listened, with compassion and courage, let them know.
Why is this is a kindness blog? One of the reasons for this blog is to remind all of us that we can make a difference, and it doesn't always take huge, impactful actions. Sometimes, many voices raised in loving concern -- kindly and clearly -- do get the attention of those in leadership roles. Please, take the time to stand for what you believe in.
