We Refuse to Sink!
(In response to a "It Is In All Of Us" nomination I received this morning)
Thank you for that beautiful nomination. I will certainly call you and get the details.
I am so so sorry for what you are going through. I can't tell you that I fully understand because the reality is ... I don't - I didn't lose my home. You are going through this, you and your neighbors. BUT we will be here. We will be here to bear witness to your struggle; we will be here to support you and help you get your needs met; we will be here to remind the rest of the world that you are going through this; we will be here to acknowledge and foster leadership, effective community organizing, and of course ... resiliency. We will help you find the resiliency you need to recover. We being: "It Is In All Of Us", "Cancel The 2012 NYC Marathon", ALL of the wonderful organizations that have been created, ALL of the amazing volunteers, organizers, donators, leaders, friends, family, and neighbors ... I Promise. (Btw - I'm the MWISSWIM kind ... that's a "Mean What I say Say What I Mean" kind of person ... ;)
So this is why we created "It Is In all Of Us" Spotlight! Already there are dozens of nominations for the spotlight and I can't wait to do the first one!! Remember, we will be doing a spotlight once a month for as long as we are here so if you or your nomination doesn't get picked this month - keep nominating! :)
Thank you! xoxo
