I would like to begin this month by recognizing and appreciating how lucky we are to be living in this time. There is less prejudice than ever before. Bullying is no longer something that gets pushed under the rug - but outwardly and severely disciplined. Same sex marriage is more widely accepted, and equality among all people is forever moving forward. Everyday there are steps taken to allow people to be who they truly are and while it is not 100% perfect, there is perfection in the fact that there is continual progress.
My request is this: we respect the struggles that people have gone through to get us to this point by allowing ourselves the freedom and permission to be who we truly are.
