I smiled and replied, “In reality we are each such powerful change agents. Everything is interconnected. Your marriage is a microcosm of the middle east. If you heal the issues in yourself that are keeping you locked in a silent truce at home, and move forward, that action is a ripple of groundwork for peace in the middle east. Remember, the butterfly effect.”

Many have lost sight of their power to seed and fuel change. When we read the news and find ourselves feeling powerless to make a difference, it is vital to remember that “you” have the power to seed change. While we may view ourselves as separate, we must expand our consciousness to remember that we are also simultaneously all one. Healing and positive change in your life are golden threads that helps repair the broken tapestry humanity and it’s ecosystems at large.
