For the first time in many (many) years I am feeling festive.  I have declared this fun fact to many of my nearest and dearest. I'm not sure  anyone quite understands just how miraculous this feels to me. I am reveling in the feeling. And so, for now, I simply want to say... thank you for being part of my journey, thank you for sharing my joy, and have a blessed and happy holiday season.

I am still processing. But I am still here. And I feel the need to make a declaration.... a manifesto of sorts...

• I will be authentic in taking action
• My actions will be real and meaningful to me
• I will continue to offer a safe space to explore and gather and create
• I will continue to lend an ear, offer a hug, and give you a cuppa
• I will always lead from the heart
• I will always believe there is more good than bad
• I will continue to be kind

BUT... I will not be naive.

• I will recognize the real dangers that exist in the world, including my smaller world
• I will stand alongside you... my friends and my not yet friends
• I will fight for equality, dignity, respect, and human (and animal) rights
• I will stand up against bigotry, racism, misogyny, and xenophobia.
• I will lead from the heart 

I WILL MAKE MISTAKES

• I will continue to listen deeply
• I will question what I don't understand
• I will seek out truth
• I will lead from the heart

I believe together we can make a difference.
