Solace, Compassion, Love… HOPE.

We have to reach out and provide this to those affected by the Orlando tragedy. I will do what I can to help those families. I am not sure how, besides offering my prayers and donating to one of the funds, but something must be done. We as a community, as a family, as citizens, and as individuals with consciences and hearts, must offer something positive to our society that overpowers hate and fear and focuses on healing and hope.

This awful “cancer of hate” that affects the mental state of human beings is growing. As I try to process all that has been happening to our world with mass shootings and even process my own personal experience with it, it overwhelms me, but also pushes me to speak out about how we are able to overcome. It is possible. I have done it. I am still doing it, and I will continue to move through life embracing all the joy in it. I will keep the faith and be that example to others. There is HOPE and I will do my best to give it.

With Love,

Leticia
