Hi everyone,
It has been a truly awful week. The school shooting in Uvalde is just horrific, and especially difficult for anyone who cares passionately about children, education, and schools—which is all of us.
I know each of us has been processing as best we can. I've been having many conversations, and am still thinking through both the facts as I understand them, and what I think this type of event means and should mean for us and our mission. I plan on sharing some more thoughts in a few weeks.
In the meantime, I'll just offer a brief reminder—to myself, to you, to all of us—to take some time to open your hearts to what matters most to you. Hug your loved ones. Cherish your children. Channel your anger into some kind of positive action however best you can, and mindfully center on what you love in the world.
Yours,

Hi Mr Ray Girn,
Listening about these news on the radio or in TV has been always a very sad moment to me. Made me realize how important is to cherish and love our children at every second daily, even when they don't behave perfectly.
God has a purpose with every action that He does, because He is the most powerful in the universe, however we cannot understand his actions many times, like these recent events.
We only must pray a lot for strength and healing love toward those families, we are not able to understand their pain and grieving time even we think we can do it.
Let's spread good vibes and hugs among friends and family every time that we can, be a positive difference and hope this world become a better and more peaceful place to live in.
Respectfully,
Sara Elena
