I am so thankful to be finding more and more spaces where I am encountering other people living this out.

Yesterday, I got to sit with someone from whom I couldn't imagine being more different. We talked at length about life and all we have learned from the living we have each done. Realistically, while there are ways in which we are dramatically different... there are many ways in which we are very much alike.

And even though we may disagree on things big and small, because both of us approached our time with kindness and curiosity we left the table aware of our shared humanity and with common ground from which to move forward.

It is absolutely possible to disagree with people and still be kind, to still respect them, to deeply desire the best for them, and to live love out loud.

Stay curious, friends.

Consider points of disagreement within yourself.

Sit with those areas in which you are still learning to fully exist.

Be kind to yourself.

And then love beyond.
