❤ BE LOVE, COMPASSION, EMPATHY ❤

Let me preface this message with something fundamental: 

I know there is so much pain and sacrifice in the community. 
 
There are those who are struggling with bills.
 
 Those who are struggling with loneliness. 
 
We all just want a hug to feel better about the world.
 
 
PLEASE KNOW
We Love each of you.
We feel Compassion towards you.
We are Empathetic -- your pain is our pain.
 
Today, I think it is helpful and nourishing to see some positive stories about love, charity, ingenuity and our shared humanity.  

Like the power of a hug, which we need:  


❤ Love transcends
even when convention tells us
to be separated by protective measures ❤
