And magically, there is that space to expand, to bloom, to grow in understanding of self and to be, not someone you aren’t, but more of who you really are.
Now I choose to celebrate, not with symbols that hold no meaning for me, but with meaning that requires no symbols.
Ultimately, that preparation requires being connected to your own truth and your own purpose.
We post it as our status and beneath images of our national symbols. “Never forget.” But what do you remember?
I believe that I will count this enough – that I lived and loved and learned in my own fashion and released all that I am into the universal stream so that it might never die.
It’s one reason my voice is so important. Because as long as I can say “NO” I have the power of consent. As long as I can say “YES” I have the power of celebration.
Yes, I think it takes more courage to play for no other reason than because we love the game.
