Beloveds,
Many think our teens are unruly and self centered. They dress differently, listen to music adults find offensive and in general, don't have respect for anyone! Actually, this may far from true! I learned a new expression from a peacemaking teenager today. "Give A Pass!" The next time someone annoys or offends you, instead of demeaning them or thinking about how you can punish them, offer forgiveness---give a pass!

Give A Pass
Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real).
She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
