#ukrainecourage

It is a time for prayer: To pray for the courageous and heroic defenders in Ukraine of independence, freedom and democracy. To pray for divine intervention. To pray for an unpredictable and unforeseeable miracle that will turn the tide and hasten an immediate and peaceful resolution of this conflict. To pray for awakening, enlightenment, love, goodness and sanity to prevail now.

Please share this post so that our collective consciousness all over the world is focused on creating an immediate and peaceful resolution with our thoughts and prayers.

On this day, at this time, Ukrainians continue to hold their own. Amazingly, their president continues to report from the frontlines. He’s vowing to stay and asking for support. He’s telling Europeans to rise up and tell their leaders to denounce Putin. President Zelensky is asking countries to impose tougher sanctions and help. This war is depicted as a modern day David vs. Goliath. Heroism and courage are playing out in real time for us all to see what people of all ages will do for their country. It’s humbling, inspiring, amazing.

This war is also unleashing a refugee crisis. We have no idea how bad this will get. The collateral damage of war is, of course, loss of life, loss of home, loss of everything. This is a global story unleashing a global human rights crisis.

There are organizations on the ground helping (I’ll share some ways you can help in my stories). In the meantime, we can continue to use our platforms to share the truth, to denounce the madman whose name is Putin. To ask ourselves how we can be messengers of peace, how we can be welcoming neighbors. Those of us who value freedom must enlist in any way we can and ask ourselves how we can help. Even though we may be far away, at the end of the day, we are all very close. We are all one. #movehumanityforward
