The Locked Door with No Key: Why Ohio’s SB 153 Threatens Our Voting Rights Imagine being told you must enter a building to access your rights—to speak, to be counted, to shape the laws that govern your life. The door is locked, and you're told you need a key. But no one will tell you what kind of key you need. Some folks bring house keys. Others arrive with driver’s licenses, birth certificates, even passports. They jiggle them in the lock—nothing works. They aren’t denied because they’re unqualified.

Sowing and Reaping (7 Ways to unleash the power of reciprocity) sample

So first we must understand where we come from and what our history has been in order to change our future. It is our goal today to learn more about the roots of reciprocity so that we can continue to sow seeds of success for ourselves and others.

In order for us to create a healthy environment for our children, there must be an understanding that we have all sown some good and some bad into our lives. If you are planting a rose bush, it cannot thrive in soil that has been poisoned with pesticides or other toxic things harmful for roses (or people). This same understanding should be applied when it comes to growing your tribe. Join our email group to get the 7 ways to unleash the power of reciprocity in your life:
