We appreciate and marvel over the diversity of nature. Why can’t we do the same with human beings? Isn’t it strange?

Human Colors, Human Rights
I love this. No matter our skin color we should all have equal rights. There is no logical or moral reason that this shouldn’t happen.
It’s International Left-Handers Day!
International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals.
I am left-handed and proud of it. Many remarkable people are left-handed such as my Missus, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Eminem, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and Morgan Freeman are all southpaws.
Have a great left-handers day to all you good people who observe.

Humans can be the worst creatures.
Advocating Humans
In advocacy I think training and mentoring people who are on your side is important. I’m a believer that if you are to build a team you need to advance your cause you have to be sure to welcome them and be forgiving if mistakes are made.
For example. It seems to me that any group who needs support from people who are on the outside their community should welcome it even if it’s not as perfect as they would want it to be. Now if you want anything done you can do it yourself or get helpers who can make a difference and if you show them the way then everyone can be on the same page.
Don’t assume someone will do things you have always done them. Change happens and if anyone is to stick around the the long haul you have to allow them ownership and the freedom to bring their experience to the table. In short don’t treat willing workers like children.
Say It Differently
We all struggle with the proverbial foot-in-mouth thing that gets us into trouble. Everyone says something that they don’t mean at times. Its a part of that terminal condition of being human and making mistakes. A friend reminded me how everyone wishes they could turn back time and do things differently or say things differently at least. The best thing one can do is say you are sorry and try not to do it again. Then there are times when you shouldn’t say anything at all.
