Today I am grateful for smiling strangers, for all those choosing to create a new story of hope and love, and for the countless acts of generosity and kindness that take place with greater frequency on this planet every day. I am thankful for a roof over my head, food in my belly, friends and family, and for connecting to more amazing souls every day. I am grateful for music, art, poetry and all that feeds my soul. For love, truth, and all the beauty of this Earth. And I am so thankful for all of you ~ Happy Thanksgiving!

Beautiful solidarity for Mike Brown in NYC tonight. And many other cities as well. Much love to all the beautiful people out there who felt called to stand up for justice. Power to the people!

NY solidarity

 

Michael Brown’s family has released the following statement~

“We are profoundly disappointed that the killer of our child will not face the consequence of his actions.

While we understand that many others share our pain, we ask that you channel your frustration in ways that will make a positive change. We need to work together to fix the system that allowed this to happen.

Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera.

We respectfully ask that you please keep your protests peaceful. Answering violence with violence is not the appropriate reaction.

Let’s not just make noise, let’s make a difference.”
