Good morning accomplished DU family,
I was 30 years old the first time someone told me it was ok to think anything. It was one of the most liberating moments of my life. While that seems hard to believe, when you grow up "lost", you spend so much just trying to survive emotionally, the freedom to think isn't a real priority.
Please give us a day filled with opportunities to free others from their chains with words of encouragement, empowerment, and enrichment. Please let us be open to those very words coming from others to free ourselves.
Love, John

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
