On Being An Ally

Blessings are like gifts we offer ourselves and each other. Beginnings mark the continuity of the cycles of life with optimism and expectancy. The journey brings many and varied challenges and gifts that can rock us to the core or bring us to the heights of bliss. Endings also mark the cycles of life with transitions that can offer clarity, release, and even liberation. I hope this blessing offers you such a gift.

On Being An Ally was born out of a moment of deep pain and compassion for my marginalized human family here in my country and around the world. I hope it offers you solace and a reminder that you are not alone.
