View this post on Instagram WE HAVE TO DO BETTER!! For days I have been avoiding the News, Scrolling through Social, or facing the Video of the Truth. I try to surround myself with positivity and uplifting things. But today I knew that doing that is selfish. To not face the truth and hide in my bubble, would help no-one. I am sitting here writing this in tears from what I just watched. How can a world like this be possible? How can people treat people in with such HATE? AND BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN????? We have to do better!!! And better starts right here, Right now, with you and our children. Studies show that children cant comprehend what's happening around them, but they can FEEL the effects of stress, uncertainty, and especially HATE! My daughter asks me, why are you sad, what happened mommy? And I had to walk away, because in our household those emotions are rare to come across. We teach LOVE, We teach HOPE! As a mom, it makes me wonder how much of this terrible stuff is filling kids heads right now, these innocent children who didn't ask for this. I don't have any of the answers. But I do know that these two children have no idea what HATE is, but if this continues, going through School I am sure they will learn it. Because if we don't change things NOW they will eventually comprehend it and become a product of it, and I REFUSE to play a part in that, and so should you! The fear and injustice that people feel every day is not right! And I cant begin to understand it or how you may feel, its wrong and this all needs to stop! What we can do is teach our children to LOVE. To teach this next generation that color does not separate us! We are ALL the same!!! WE ARE ALL THE SAME! BLACK LIVES MATTER! That we love our brothers and sisters equally! That God created us equally!!! I know that I am powerless during this entire situation, but what I do know is that I do have power over what Sophia and Owen learn. That I have the power to teach them to LOVE, to teach them that EVERYONE is equal, and we love thy neighbor!!!! So today I will play my part, I will love on my children, make them feel safe, talk them through their own fears, and teach this generation to do better ⬇️ A post shared by ???????????????????????????? ????????????????????????
