the plane is at the gate

[Guest guest]

Let me start with a big HELLO to all of the old members of the Group

and a heartfelt WELCOME to all the new members of the Humanity

Healing™ Family.

Old members…it is amazing I think of some of you that way –

particularly since the Group here is just a few months old…but so

much has happened in just those few months. When Liane and I

realized during a conversation that if we combined her dream of a

spiritual community with my goal of a network of healers to do pro

bono work for those in need; we could offer individuals a multi-

faceted approach to heal and grow, and in return, they could help

others heal and grow.

In that moment, Humanity Healing™ was born and I felt a fundamental

shift in the Universe.

From the Group to MySpace to our official website (still under

construction, but I am very excited by the conversations with our new

Webmaster), Humanity Healing™ has grown dramatically (or, depending

on your perspective, been pushed because it is needed). We have

connected with and promoted charities such as Aurora Village and

brought within some wonderful non-profits such as UWIN (Domestic

Violence and Family Abuse) and Kindness of Strangers (Animal

Activism). Most importantly, we have been blessed in having such

incredible souls (who you all know) join us such as Stefanie (

Group moderator and Volunteer Coordinator) and Alison ( Group

moderator and Holistic & Alternative Healing Ambassador), as well as

all of you who inspire us with your thoughts (, I know you claim

to be snoring in the corner, but I want to discuss some ideas within

the Humanity Living House), incredible poetry (thank you, Randy),

words of wisdom (Bless you, Karma); but most especially, all of

you who reach out to connect with those in need. YOU are truly

inspiring and I feel both so incredibly proud and humbled to be part

of what YOU are accomplishing.

So why am I writing tonight? You have seen the recent polls that

have been posted here. In short, WE NEED YOU! Humanity Healing™ is

growing faster than just a few of us can manage. One of the main

goals of Humanity Healing™ is to promote Spiritual Activism. Liane

and I need your help. We need members to monitor Outreaches in a

variety of venues.

Not too long ago, I wrote to a friend of mine to describe what

Humanity Healing™ was and I realized that something that recently

happened to me was the perfect analogy.

I was in line to board my plane for the last leg home from a long

trip, when it became evident that the elderly lady at the front of

the line was in confusion. She had heard her plane was boarding, but

she was trying to get on the wrong plane and didn't understand the

gate attendant not letting her onboard. He was in a quandary as he

had a schedule to make and no other attendant to assist the woman. I

stepped forward and introduced myself to her and explain that yes,

her plane was boarding, but that they had changed the gate. I told

that I was headed that direction myself and would be happy

to escort her. As we walked slowly towards the correct gate, I

learned of her visit to see her great-grandchild and that her

daughter would be meeting her in Ashville, NC. We arrived at the

gate just in time to get her on the plane and I spent a couple of

minutes explaining 's situation to the attendant there and

arranging for a representative to meet the plane and escort her to

her daughter. I then turned around and ran like a bat-out-of-hell

back to my gate in hopes of still making my flight. I didn't need to

worry. The gate attendant met me with a handshake and told me he

held the flight. As I got to my seat, the flight attendant informed

me that almost everybody getting on board told her that there was a

man helping an elderly woman to her correct flight and they needed to

hold the plane until I got there.

This is the essence of what Liane and I hoped to accomplish when we

founded Humanity Healing – an opportunity to bring people together

into a community, to allow them to connect with those in need of

compassion, and to provide them the opportunity to make the world a

better place in small, but definable ways.

So here is your Call to Action and the plane is at the gate: will you

give of yourself to make a small, but definable difference in this

world?

Metta,

Chris
