Abundance In Light’s plight to Empower Little Girls and Women in South Africa.

"Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth shall speak."
 – Matthew 12:34

Seeds were planted in our hearts through life's experiences.
They were watered by love and nourished by pain.
Where fear once flowed, love now thrives.
Where anger once destroyed, beauty now coincides.
Individual paths now merged.
Together, to illuminate the darkness in our minds.
To remove the callouses embedded in our hearts.
To relieve our aching spirits.
To love one another.
To heal the wombs of our women and the hearts of our men.
To protect our children from all evil.
To nurture them wholeheartedly and care for them with all that we are.
Together. 
You and me. 

Put your right hand on your heart and your left hand on womb/abdomen.

Please take a deep and centering breath right here.

And exhale.

You have now entered a safe space.

A space where we strive to learn about each other and the issues the plague our societies and weigh heavy on our hearts.

A space where we will take the time to teach, understand, help, provide for and protect one another.

To extend our online community that is centered within love and is surrounded by it to all those that need it.

To tell each other that it will all be okay.

We are Abundance in Light.
