When I got infected with HIV in 1987, at the height of the epidemic, it was Marianne Williamson who inspired me to survive.

There’s no such thing as a broken teenager. There are only beautiful young people on a path towards healing into wholeness, learning to embody the words, “I am enough exactly as I am.”

So glad that I got to shake John Lewis’ hand a few months ago. He was a gentle, humble warrior. We need him more than ever right now. May his memory inspire us all.

A few weeks after I was diagnosed with HIV in ‘88, I looked over my shoulder and saw the blood-red full moon of July. At that moment, I made a vow to live so that I could see many more. It rises in the sky this week. #lifeisbeautiful

You are worthy of love.
An affirmation @iamscottfried encourages us to say to ourselves when life hurts: "Who I am at this very moment is worthy of love." This can be hard to remember and when we remind ourselves of it, we believe it more! #BBYOOnDemand

An 8th grade boy recently said, “When I listen to you, it feels like I am being refilled with mercy that I can distribute to others.” Thursday, May 7th at 7 PM EDT, is the culmination of our weekly series. We will discuss the qualities of mercy. Join us! tinyurl.com/ChanceToExhale
