May you….

– find authentic inclusion with a group of caring friends. 

– enjoy significant connection and derive mutual satisfaction with members of your immediate and extended family and family of choice. 

– have meaningful work, work that respectfully uses your talents, strengths your imagination, and where your responsibilities and your authority are in sync.  

– have the capacity for humor that enriches – not diminishes or demeans – others. 

– discover new and wonderful and creative things about yourself despite your years of experience. 

– learn from past failures and have an increased and healthy awareness of your propensities and vulnerabilities rather than be weighed down by your failures.

– strive to be part of the solutions and not part of the problems in matters large and small. (Credit Dean Sherman)

– become even more skillful in knowing your limits, defining your boundaries, and therefore better able to love your enemies, friends, family, colleagues and strangers. 

– resist urges,  subtle or gross — all of which may be socially acceptable — to exploit others to accomplish your personal or professional goals. 

– do no harm and may none come to you. 

– truly understand you are superior to none, inferior to none and, if and while you think you are either, you are surely missing the joy of appreciating your own beautiful humanity.  

– be an agent of love, healing, learning, empowering, and peace.
