You can thank Nelson Mandela's death for my presence. One could speak for hours on the goodness of a humanitarian of his caliber (Thank you Lord for blessing us with this darling soul!), but to this American, 41 year old white, middle-class woman, 8,076 miles away from Pretoria, South Africa, who has never known anything remotely resembling the struggle HIS people endured, his message is this: BE BRAVE FOR YOUR GOD, YOUR PEOPLE (LOVED AND UNKNOWN)....AND YOURSELF. HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF.
I have the feeling this is not always going to be easy...but it might just be worth it.
