It's all too easy to become fixated on the importance of independence and individual accomplishment, AND this can leave us missing a critical component of our growth – INTERdependence.

We are meant to be connected to each other. When we celebrate our collective strengths, we can truly learn, grow and thrive together. 

AND when we forget about our interconnectedness or take it for granted, we risk losing much of what makes us whole. 

So this Independence Day, let's take a moment to celebrate our INTERdependence. 
 

We can honor our shared humanity and the bonds that bind us together. 

Let's remember Archbishop Desmond Tutu's definition of INTERdependence – a person is a person through other people.

Let's keep cultivating connections and creating change!
