Be The Momentum

Like it or not, change is here.

It’s happening and there’s momentum to it.

We’re more powerful than we know.

We’ve needed integrity back in the systems of our world,

we know what needs to be changed,

we are willing to step up… and we are many.

I know you are tired. I know you feel pain.

You’ve faced the ugliness of the world and are still being a shining light in the darkness.

We’ve become stronger and more resilient.

We’ve done the work on ourselves to clear out old pain so that we’re not taking our old stuff into the bright new future ahead.

There’s always more work to do, but we’re doing it.

We’re making stronger relationships and stepping forward together.

We’re learning who we are and we’re expanding into new versions of ourselves.

We’re learning how to love eachother better every day.

The growing love between us will guide the world… guide it toward peace.

Be the momentum. Give it the push needed.

Pull others up. Be kind and respectful and adamant and firm.

You’ve been chosen to be here and now it’s your time to shine.

I thank you for everything you’ve done and everything you are going to do.

The spark of God in me honors the spark of God in you. Namaste.

If I were a caterpillar, I would put on my ice skates and go throw snowballs at Emmett while he shovels his driveway.

Latest on Julian Assange

On December 12, 2022 By thinkcarebelieveIn Julian AssangeLeave a comment

A big world shift like this isn’t easy. It has many moving parts, seen and unseen. Many of those parts are resting on Julian Assange.

Journalists all over the world are being careful. They are worried that the imprisonment and extradition of Julian Assange could mean the end of free press. That doesn’t bode well for a free democracy. News professionals worldwide are concerned that the laws that are being used against Assange could also be used on them and that his imprisonment is setting a dangerous precedent.

Julian Assange’s brother Gabriel Shipton and their father John Shipton have been advocating for Julian giving speeches throughout the world on the facts of Julian’s imprisonment. Julian’s wife, Stella Assange has also been educating groups about the facts of Julian’s case and what it means for journalists everywhere.

The latest: President Biden is receiving pressure to drop the charges against Julian Assange, see the article here. This does give hope because he is talking about respecting free press and AG Merrick Garland stated last October that “a free and independent press is vital to the functioning of our democracy” when the Justice Department revised their news media policy expanding protections for news media journalists. See article here.

Australia’s Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese has put pressure on the US government to bring the Assange matter to a close and appealed for his release. Brazilian President-elect Luis Inácio Lula da Silva called for an end to the “unjust imprisonment.”

International Human Rights Day was December 10th. There were vigils and demonstrations to see Julian Assange free. Here are photos from all over the world. There was a rally in front of the British Embassy in New York City, you can see photos here.

Also, New York Times, the Guardian, Le Monde, Der Speigel, and El Pais all wrote a letter to the US Department of Justice calling for them to drop most of the charges against Assange. They stated that prosecuting under the Espionage Act sets a dangerous precedent and that holding governments accountable is a duty of a free press in a democracy. Article here.

So there is a hopeful momentum building for Julian Assange. I do believe he is a linchpin for many other things leading to greater positive change. If you are willing to add your voice, please call and write your elected officials and tell them you want them to support freeing #Assange. Let them know your opinion. Let them know how you feel about this.

I Stand

I Stand

by ThinkCareBelieve

I stand for Freedom of Thought
I stand for Freedom to Create
And even though there have been those 
who sought to take our power away,
I stand in my Faith.

Their fear tactics do not disempower
No longer will we be pushed 
Into creating doomsday for the dark
Hopes and dreams getting smooshed.

We see all their tricks now
We know them so well
We’ve read their whole playbook
We know all their tells.

It’s time to stand up now
Shoulder to shoulder it will be
See the dark now is powerless
Our light shines 
I stand with thEe.
