My Friend, Glennon

I can and have waxed poetic about in 11 posts about how Glennon Doyle Melton has inspired me on this blog. All you have to do is use the search button up there on the top right and you will find all the archives.

My sister Jane and I went to see her at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) in October. BUT, it wasn't just Glennon. It was an evening of Women Warriors inspiring an audience of rapt listeners at the Together Tour. Truth tellers sharing bits of their lives that matter.

I invite you to check these astounding women out:

BUT, today. This morning. I am on Kacey's show chatting with her about my friend, Glennon after she interviewed her.

Some day I will be sitting on a couch with Glennon shoulder to shoulder. It's a promise to myself. I really would lose my one mind with the wonder of that.

THIS coming Wednesday, Glennon is launching her annual "Healing Hands" event to raise money to raise people up. It's one of my favorite feel good events of the year. I urge you to check it out.

At the end of the night, after tears were shed, and manifestos were written and after they were supposed to be done, Alicia Keys was moved to sing this song acappella.

​NOT A SOUND COULD BE HEARD EXCEPT HER VOICE.

I took the above video from YouTube as I was completely caught up in the moment and didn't have it in me to video. So, thank you to the wonderful person who got all this.

Below is the studio version. Go buy it.

Oh maybe we should love somebody
Oh maybe we could care a little more
So maybe we should love somebody
Instead of polishing the bombs of holy war
