THE TORTOISE & THE HARE (AT YOUR OWN PACE IN THE COMMUNITY)
Like the tortoise and the hare, we all arrive at the same destination, together, eventually. The classic tale of the tortoise and the hare reminds us that different people take life at different speeds and that one way is not necessarily superior to another. In fact, in the story it is the slower animal that…
UNDERSTANDING OUR COMMUNITY ONENESS
Every thought we have and action we take becomes part of the collective energy of communities. Sometimes we look at the actions of others and find it difficult to understand what motivates them.

FINDING OUR LIFE’S WORK (FEELING OUR COMMUNITIES)
Your most important work in this lifetime may not be your job – it’s a conviction within your soul, recognizable if you allow it to shine.

Our best is always good enough, because it comes from us and we are always good enough. We often come into contact with the idea that all the positive work we did during isn’t good enough the moment July 1st reaches. If we examine this notion, we will begin to see that it doesn’t make…
RAISE YOUR PRIDE VIBRATION (FOCUS ON THE GOOD)
There are many ways to raise our vibrations, including thinking positive and uplifting thoughts. Everything in our communities is made of energy. What differentiates one community from another is the way it vibrates. Our communities vibrate at different frequencies, it’s thoughts and feelings can determine the frequency at which we vibrate, and our vibration goes…
ANYTHING CAN BE OVERCOME…PRIDE IN HARDSHIP
Even when it seems like you have nowhere left to turn, there is a solution waiting for you. Always. The journey that each queer individual makes through earthly existence can have hardship as often as it is touched by joy. When we encounter adversity, the stress we feel can erode our optimism, eventually convincing us…
FOR THE COMMUNITY YOU ARE ENOUGH…
Just being here, being ourselves, is enough for our communities. Most of us have the feeling that we are here to accomplish something big in our communities, and if we haven’t done something that fits the bill we may feel as if we are waiting. We may feel incomplete, or empty, as if our lives…
