Values
HUMANITY
To know what it means not just to sympathize, but to empathize with others... To look another being squarely in the eyes and see whatever it is that makes us more than just vessels. My hope is to grow together in the understanding that worth comes in shapes and forms we may already and may not yet be able to imagine... That because of that, we should always remain open to every possibility. EMPOWERMENT My intention is to aid in identifying where we have misnamed, engage in renaming, and take on meaning-making that results in an increase of harmonious living. I aim to spur others into a purposeful curiosity that drives us forward in our endeavors and toward bigger, better dreams. INTEGRITY The power in living your life in a way that affirms everything you believe – regardless of whether or not others are in agreement... There is something deeply affirming about moving through the world in way that aligns with your values and your personal truth(s). Every person deserves that opportunity – so long as it is not harmful, oppressive, or dehumanizing to others. |
