When I go out, I wear my Progress Pride button — a small act of resistance against a country that keeps trying to erase us.

I refuse to be invisible.

🏳️‍🌈 I’m here. I’m visible. And I’m not going anywhere.

Are you aware of the Landed App that focuses on gratitude? Search the Apple Store for “landed app”. It’s such an amazing app. I’ve been engaging in conversations with people all over the world about gratitude for over two years. Love it!

I find myself defining myself too often in ways that aren’t in line with how I would like to live! What must we do to live in more alignment with our values?

Suggestions?

I need the reminder that there is good in the world. The news cycle triggers our evolutionary negativity bias!

I honor and memory of Dr. Reverend George T. Gardiner, my long-time pastor, mentor, & friend, who introduced me to this quote on the Power of Love:

Martin Luther King, Jr and Thich Nhat Hanh were friends who influenced one another.

Love is the only antidote for hate!

Compassion towards all is hard in such a fear-based culture, but worth the effort.

I think I have an obsession with books about the immigrant experience!

I love using the Landed App. If you want to focus on gratitude more frequently, try this app.
