It’s been a heavy news week in Australia. It makes you wonder what it all means, right? Things are so hard for so many people. It’s really sad and hard to know how to process it all.
I think the overwhelming theme that’s run through the week for me is compassion. Some people seem to be rather compassion-challenged when times are tough. We gotta slow things down and think of others and be kind at times like this. Enough of the finger pointing and blaming. Terrible things happen and it’s important to respond with COMPASSION and heart.
It’s all a bit overwhelming, really…
White Ribbon Australia are working to end family violence. You can donate or find out more or get some support and help here.
For ME, it’s time to shift focus a bit and look for the good stuff, to stave off this powerless feeling and think about what’s right.
