"A country where we may not agree on every detail, but we are united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect. A country where we look out for one another, where we rise and fall as one, where we face our challenges, and celebrate our triumphs—together."
-Kamala Harris
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
Watching Senator Kamala Harris speak last evening at the Democratic National Convention was a moment in history that once again gave me a reason to believe in possibilities:
“We might not agree on every detail... but we are united by the fundamental belief that every human being is of infinite worth, deserving of compassion, dignity and respect.”
How do you demonstrate compassion with people in your circle of influence?
Think about that for a moment...
Why is it important to treat all people with dignity and respect?
...what's the benefit in doing so... no matter the situation...
“A country where we look out for one another...”
How has the silence of others impacted you and your family?
...think about a time you wished someone had spoken up, but didn't... How did you feel..?
What do you do when you witness someone being treated unfairly?
Be honest, do you speak up, attempt to help, mind your business, report it..?
What do you believe the result would be if we all held each other accountable for looking out for each other?
What would that look like... Spend some time here...
Today’s Challenge: Start the conversation!
Provide a safe non-judgmental space to have an open discussion.

Be present and willing to share.
What are you willing to do?

You got this!
