The picture of the candle comes from the vigil at Lake Eola on June 19, 2016. I will never forget that moment of that day. After the horrendous attack on the Pulse nightclub, I saw people come together from all walks of life to honor the memories of these individuals. No longer was the LGBT community an outcast in Orlando. I saw hearts and lives changed in spite of the evil and hatred that was inflicted upon the victims and the city.
This candle to me reminds me of just how much love that was present in that place. It was so strong that you could just feel it and it brought tears to my eyes, it lifted my heart and it helped me see others in a different way.
Why can we not have that love in our hearts for one another, rather than the divisive hatred that is so readily displayed these days? We will not make it if we stand with hatred in our hearts towards one another. Only love will get us through those difficult times.
How can you share love with the world today?
How can you inspire yourself to love more?
