Important words from Jackie Hildering ...keep putting good into the world...Helpful?I've been struggling for words in light of developments in the world. I had some of my own recently sent back to me.

From an email I received yesterday:
"I recently listened to the episode of Whale Tales that you were featured on, and a quote by you made me incredibly emotional.
[From the podcast] "We are capable of incredible change. (...) We can change, we should change, but there are forces that try to make us believe that we can't, because overwhelm, fear, and despair work really well to make sure that there isn't the change that disempowers those who have enjoyed power for a very long time. (...) You are part of the positive wave, and we may not disappear into despair."
It really impacted me so strongly in a way I wasn't expecting while driving home from work. People will still do good regardless of daily politics and the failures of our governments, every choice towards sustainability makes a difference and it was very refreshing to be reminded of this sentiment. The sense of community evoked in that quote is very powerful."

So grateful to the person who wrote that email and gave me permission to share it. How they helped me.
Just keep putting good into the world and understand that overwhelm, despair, and fear are the blunt tools used to beat down positive change and empowerment. I will not disappear. I will not be silent. I will NOT give my oxygen to the vampires that thrive on negative attention and inhumanity.
