Relationships move at the speed of trust and social change moves at the speed of relationships. Quote by Rev. Jen Bailey from The Peoples Supper Organization REFLECTION: Examine your relationships. Which ones have a high level of trust? Which ones do you need to build trust? Is there a social change you are seeking?

I use the word "love" here not merely in the personal sense but as a state of being, or a state of grace - not in the infantile American sense of being made happy but in the tough and universal sense of quest and daring and growth.” Quote from James Baldwin REFLECTION: Who loves/loved you so much that you were able to take off your mask? Are you wearing a mask now? How does that mask express? What mask can you no longer live within? How can you express more love today to support someone in taking off their mask?
