On days such as indigenous people's day, we are reminded that while we are all on our own journey we are not all of the same backgrounds, experiences, traditions, or beliefs. It is a good thing to recognize our differences as it is part of how it is that we are to live together in the same community with opportunity for all. It is good to reflect because it makes us realize that we can allow for differences and we can even celebrate them. With a healthy level of respect, there is a lot of positive that be spread amongst us. The more we align around respect the more that our lives become better and easier. Let’s keep working to recognize and celebrate who we all are regardless of any background, circumstance, belief, or otherwise. We are meant to be here together, let’s make it work and we will be better off as a result.

Loving life when I respect everyone
