As the recent events in our beloved Country continue to bring awareness as to how we as humans are being treated, it is really time for us to Wake Up! Some of us want to continue in life as if we can avoid everything that is going on around us, and then there are those of us who are in the middle and have no choice but to face the insanity. You may believe that because some of the events are not directly impacting you (yet) that there is nothing for you to do. That is wrong, because the impact is coming toward us all. If you believe that continuing to live in a bubble will bring solitude, then go for it; however, you may be left standing alone. As Women, we are very strong and capable of bringing people together to stand for something in which we believe. Whether it is the situation in North Dakota, Flint Michigan’s Water Contamination, Women’s Rights, Black Lives Matter, LGBT Rights, Human Rights, Corporate Takeover, Health Care, ad infinitum, Wake Up and Stand Up for something. Find a cause or many, and get out there. You can make a difference. Do not say that “there is nothing I can do.” That is not true. There is much to do and we, Women have to be strong and lead the cause. This is the time to act, if not for yourself, do it for our future generations. History is repeating itself in a way that is negative for us all. We should not welcome this and let others know exactly what we are going to do.

Wake Up Women! Wake Up Everybody! Take a stand and act now.

Women are Empowered, Powerful, and Influential! Use your strength to be the change that we need right now!

Peace.
