We can all play a part in Peace. I am getting ready to host Town Talks in the city of Oakland: these will be open, facilitated discussions, held in public spaces, on the topic of healing as a community and a nation. I will introduce self-empowered strategies for bringing peace into our civic discussions. I need to do something. So, I will show up and listen. Your life matters to me. Your voice matters to me. Come to be heard. Come to listen. Come to find hope. Come to know you are RESPECTED and SEEN for the real you. Details to come in the next several days.

Hello, Oakland! Did we meet some time today? Was it at First Friday? Was it at the print shop? Did I give you a flyer for Taliha or Tonya? It was a great day of getting out there and meeting all of you. Hope to cross paths again!

Leg Up Blog Post: Inner Knowing

What to do when you don't know what to do - Converge Forward

Our first Leg Up Blog post!

Are you struggling? Seeking? Trying to figure out something important, or just doing the best that you can in your life? We would like to offer you a Leg Up! Send us a message or post to our page, and we (that is, me, Christine) will post a video responding to your issues. No one can do the work for you, but you CAN get help from those around you, and you DESERVE help and support. Sending love!

Sean Stephenson

Converge Forward friends, here's the fantastic Sean Stephenson now! You see what I mean about his uplifting work and message...and his shirtessness :)

Hello 23 supporters and counting! I am starting a blog on the Converge Forward page. I am inspired by Sean Stephenson (look for him on FaceBook--he is doing great healing work), who video tapes himself a few times a day, sharing thoughtful reflections and positive living strategies. Unlike Sean, however, I plan to blog clothed, LOL. I invite you to help me get started: I would like to call my blog the "Leg Up Blog". You (anybody) sends me a question, a concern, or a wish for support, and I answer. You can publicly post to the Converge Forward page or just send me a private message. I will video myself speaking to your situation to help you along in your journey. Please share this with your friends because you never know who could use a leg up today. Blessings to you! -Christine
