🌈 WE ARE BEINGS OF PRIDE (BEYOND THE PHYSICAL WORLD) 🏳️🌈
It is through our connection to our pride that we know things beyond what the visible world can tell us. We are all beings of pride.

♾ THE WONDERMENT OF LIFE 🤲🏽 TAKING THE COMMUNITY FOR GRANTED 🏳️🌈

SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE (TOGETHER IN THE COMMUNITY)
We have created imaginary boundaries, sectioning ourselves into countries and states, forgetting that in reality we are all living together.

🏳️🌈 GETTING WHAT WE WANT (BEING CLEAR ABOUT THE DESIRES WE WANT FROM OUR COMMUNITIES) 🌈
If we aren’t clear about what we want from our communities, it won’t be able to find us. The best way to get what we want from our community is to first know what we want. If we haven’t taken the time to really understand and identify what would truly make us happy, we won’t…
THE KALEIDOSCOPE OF THE COMMUNITY (LIVING TOGETHER DIFFERENTLY)
When we only associate with like-minded people in our various communities, there often isn’t room to grow, as new ideas aren’t being introduced.
