If there is a holiday we need in 2025 it’s this. It’s Weed Out Hate day.
This is a new holiday first introduced in 2010 in Iowa of all places! It encouraged kids to get out and help pull weeds as a metaphor for removing hatred in their minds and hearts and it was created by Marc Daniels to honor both his grandfather who loved gardening and his hero Abraham Lincoln.
If you have a green thumb you can certainly go do some of that today- ideally while thinking about love for your fellow man. But if you have a black thumb like me you can still participate by looking inward and finding ways to be more open and caring going forward. The world needs more of this right now.
