Ever notice how when Mercury’s doing its celestial dance in the emotional waters of Cancer, the universe throws a spotlight on heart-tugging stories that make you want to hug a stranger—or hide under a blanket with snacks? Well, here we have someone who, despite a tidal wave of painful criticism, clings tight to her faith and fierce advocacy for every child. She’s been face-to-face with the raw agony of families torn apart by hostage crises, feeling their despair so deeply it almost aches. Makes you wonder: how do we keep believing in the good—and holding onto our own truths—when the world tries to paint us otherwise? Yeah, someday the stars might just answer that one… or at least nudge us to care a little more. LEARN MORE.
To NPR, she said the criticism is “painful,” but she sticks to her faith and advocacy. “I have to remind myself that people don’t know my heart, and people try to tell you who you are, but you know who you are. And I know how deeply and equally I care for all children, and I do lean on my faith in that situation,” she said.
“I recently sat down with someone who has a family member that was taken hostage, and sitting with her and hearing the harrowing accounts. Feeling her pain, the anguish, the desperation to get that loved one home, where that loved one belongs, and have the family be complete. If you sat with her as well, if you just sat with her, you would want more than anything for that family to be whole again and them to not be suffering immensely.”
