Desiree -
How beautiful this is. I will be honest and say that I knew what Kwanzaa was, but I did not know about the Seven Principles. Thank you for sharing this. I am going to print this out too and put a copy with my Christmas decorations. Next year, when we drag them out, we’ll have another reminder that the Spirit of the Holidays is so much bigger than what’s under the tree.
Thank you!
Jennifer

The wisdom is not mine but I see Kwanzaa and the 7 principles as a perfect foundation for healing communities–locally and globally. I thank you for building a stronger more loving community with me.

Blessings to you!

Mutee,
I want to share one of my favorite quotes with you.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others.
Marianne Williamson

There is no seperation, we need each other and can only be successful when we all let our lights shine.

Hiro,
I am glad you find these principles helpful as you plan your year ahead. We are all in this together and the health and wholeness of one affects, and effects the other. Thank you for contributing to the vision of a just and peaceful world.

Great post – Very inspirational and beautifully written. You continue to effectively show how one person affects the whole. We set an example for our friends and family by the kind of life we choose to lead. We can either further the cycle of living for me or choose to participate in helping, serving and giving to we. I choose the latter and I’m sure you will continue to inspire others to do so as well.

Desiree, thank you for sharing these powerful principles as guideposts for the year ahead. I’ve printed out this post, and will refer to it often for its wisdom and vision of a world that supports each of us in our fullness and beauty. You are such a shining example of these principles in action.

Love, Hiro
