    If we are unable to accept some, it’s a very slippery slope to many.
    If we recognize the gifts of those different from ourselves, we recognize the gifts of more and more people, and we are more likely to recognize the gifts of those things different within ourselves.

    I love that we’re learning about new ways to help our planet. I think I love  as much or even more the personal connections we’re making and growing through this experience with each other and with those  we reach out to.
