Letters from Liberia

11/8/2016

Tuesday, November 8, 2016 US election night from here in Liberia…
 
I planned my trip to be home here tonight on purpose.  I wanted to witness and experience the energy and the results of this election outside of the US, to be part of our global human family’s reaction to this very important election.
 
Everyone here in Liberia is praying for Hillary.  They are confident.  They have no doubt.  Perhaps it is their wishful thinking…
 
I am keenly aware of me being here tonight speaking about us all being part of one global fabulous human family – and keenly aware of the hatred and divisiveness that America has brought to the global human family conversation.  I am choosing to believe that it is all part of a divine plan, that all the darkness had to be unearthed to come up to the light, all now ready healed.
 
And I am witnessing how the entire world is watching this moment in history.
 
As a student of A Course in Miracles, I have come to believe that every behavior comes from a place of love or fear – and that all coming from fear is a cry for help and healing.  Fear has been pervasive during this election – great crying for help and healing.  May this election contribute to the healing of all of us…
 
Watching and praying for the highest good of all beings…  with love from Africa,

“Faith is our assurance that there is a Divine plan of infinite love at work even in the most challenging moments, and that we are a part of that plan.  Faith gives us the confidence to move ahead with vast visions in the face of enormous odds; it is an invitation to work in active partnership with the Divine in service of a better world.” - Women, Spirituality and Transformative Leadership
