The base principles of the THPL journey are that every one of us, regardless of race, gender, background, creed, are all equal and deserving of the way that we want to live our own version of the high performance life. There is no one who should get in the way of each of us seeking to create the best version of ourselves. Sadly, this is not universally held to be true and we have to commit part of our journey to focus on how to improve the circumstances of others. It was enlightening and also exhilarating to see that on January 1, 2019, 5 million women in the southern Indian state of Kerala lined up shoulder to shoulder to form a “women’s wall” 385 miles long. The wall was a statement of gender equality, and a call to end violent protests against women trying to enter Kerala’s Sabarimala temple, a pilgrimage site for Hindus. We have to all support this type of a powerful show of unity letting the world know that we are done with gender-based violence. It starts now….

Loving life when I support equality across the board
