To have a voice

I am thankful that I have a voice, physically and conceptually. I was in a meeting yesterday with two like-minded people coming together to create a presentation for their community, but they were disagreeing on a key component. How blessed are we to have opposing opinions and values while still holding space for compassion and love? We can discuss our differences without fear and with respect. I know that not everyone has this opportunity or freedom. I am thankful that I can celebrate this right which shouldn’t be a luxury. I feel blessed that I have so many ways of expressing myself and that I have outlets where my expression is received and shared, including this space here 🙏
