"We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion." - Max de Pree

It seems to me that we all want space - we need space - to grow and become our true selves, our best selves. 

So let's give this gift to one another.  

We also need acceptance and respect, all of us. 

How exciting and wonderful our world could be - will be - when we make room for sharing different perspectives with respect and interest, when we value diversity. 

How healthy and beneficial it will be in so many ways. 

Today, let's act as if the day has already arrived when we see one another with something even greater than acceptance, even beyond respect...with reverence.

For one day, this day, let's aim to see ourselves, each other, and the world with wonder, with gratitude, with joy.

And with love,
Charlene
