Thanksgiving 2016. Is Yours.

You and I both know…

This is the year.

This is way more than mashed potatoes and homemade cranberry.

This is worth way more than happy tidings.

This is the year it’s no longer blood or water…

The year it is no longer religion or politics or rubbing someone wrong….

(I mean, do you actually care what that asshole has to say? No, no, you don’t).

This year. This time.

This time.

You’re speaking up.

Because, it’s way more than the pecan pie or the college football game.

This year.

It’s every single thing you know to be right.

“Say what you wanna say and let the words fall out…”

Be YOU.

Be brave.

“Do not call it love if you’d rather cradle injustice than confront it. Step over.” ~ Elizabeth Grattan
