Imagine a World… without fear, filled with creativity, and where we can all find common ground

Looking back on a year of pandemic it seems hard to imagine a world unaffected by Covid-19, yet we have to try. We must find reasons for hope and look forward to a future without disease, restrictions and lockdown. In the same way, we need to combat our individual fears, replace our negative thoughts with fresh creativity and protect our mental health. And, on a much broader level, we need to find solutions to the world’s problems so we can all get back on track with our lives.

Unfortunately, when we should all be pulling together, there is so much disunity on the earth today and we need to try and find the common ground, in the hope that we can all get along. We need to put aside our prejudices and our limited thinking and imagine a world where anything is possible. Where love conquers all and where justice and peace prevail.
