Imagine 2 benches: 1 empty, 1 w/ someone. Where do you sit? Alone, right? We're changing that by making benches that bring us together, 1 chat at a time!

Our grief and our gratitude are not in competition with one another. We need space for each of them — especially after a year filled with change, loss, and anxiety. #LetsGoThere and practice vulnerability together this holiday #WeavingCommunity ow.ly/Djjl50Crg9K

The easiest way to reflect is simply to say it, ideally using tone or emotion that resonates with the speaker’s. If you feel more comfortable framing it, you could preface your reflection with one of these phrases. #conversations

Kindness. A simple word, yet many of us struggle with this. Let’s practice together: 1. If it’s not helpful, don’t say it 2. Don’t discriminate. Be kind to everyone, including yourself 3. Start with good intentions & attitude 4. Small things go a long way 5. Repeat #1

We are all complex humans, with valuable stories and perspectives and hopes. We are more than “red” and “blue”. We are more than data points and colors. In this historic moment it’s essential that we see and affirm the humanity in each other. Kindness is the key.
