October 2017 #MeToo went viral, increasing awareness of the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment. Now we’re inviting men to add their voice in changing the way men view and treat women.

Whether you’re single or married, at home or at work, a kid or adult, we each have our own unique language when it comes to how we express and receive love.

What if we were to do life in micro-communities where it was normal to know and be known, love and be loved, serve and be served, celebrate and be celebrated?

In spite of all the ways we now connect with each other – texting, instant messaging, chatting, social networking, tweeting, emailing; social isolation and loneliness is on the rise.

Whether it’s a partner, a child, a parent, a friend, or a coworker; those who thrive in their relationships take responsibility for their role and change their own behaviour.

While privilege is neither good or bad, what we do with it is. Perhaps the biggest challenge is that privilege is most often invisible to those who have it.

Healthy relationships are formed when we mutually shift from me to we – creating space for another person to thrive, while they’re doing the same for us.

Learning to apologize doesn’t always mean you’re wrong and the other person is right. Instead it means that you value the relationships in your life more than your ego.

Why do we so often want it, yet struggle to give it? Forgiveness holds the power it to release us from the prisons of our own making - leading us toward healing, joy and freedom.

We often associate vulnerability with emotions we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty; yet vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love.

Resilience is a muscle we can build. It’s the human capacity to bounce back from the negative, traumatic, or painful experiences we all encounter; to find meaning and rediscover joy.

Finding our core identity and life purpose is most often the journey of a lifetime; expanding and unfolding over time as we more fully engage in living our lives.

One of the most important tools for building healthy relationships at home, work, school, or in the community is knowing how to process a fight in a way that helps both parties win.

Only as we begin to understand, empathize, and honestly share in the suffering of others, can we begin to acknowledge our own biases; learning to love those we feel uncomfortable with.
