Read MoreNo, the purpose of healing and reconciliation is not to get everyone holding hands and singing kumbayah.

I cannot consider my Self whole and free, yet stand idly by while others are restricted and oppressed. Restricting and oppressing others, or turning away from it occurring, in fact means I do not understand what wholeness and freedom are.

It means that we should not perpetuate or encourage it ourselves. That God created each and all of us beloved means that we are here to Be(loved), and to #LoveOnPurpose.

We all have a journey to healing, wholeness, and living our belovedness--and we can support one another along the way...
