"It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences." 

                                                         ~ Audre Lorde  

Let's aim to celebrate differences... colors, creeds, cultures... all aspects of all that is. 

If you catch yourself judging someone today because that person doesn't look, act, think, talk, or live life like you, bring to mind a big beautiful garden. Tens of thousands different plants would exist there... all adding to the overall magnificence. 

May such gardens, and the Garden of Eden story, reminds us to respect, embrace, and celebrate the many differences among us.

With more love and reverence, 
Charlene
