There's nothing quite like cracking open the digital archives, going on a treasure hunt and pulling out the gems of Unistrut's 100 years of history. Then again, knowing that some of the projects I'm working on today will be in the archives for future generations, is pretty cool too! #Unistrut100 #GlimpseOfHistory #ArchivesOfTheFuture

Wednesday of the Eleventh Week in Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church is a period that typically occurs between the seasons of Christmas and Lent or between Pentecost and Advent. During this week, we focus on the teachings and miracles of Jesus, highlighting the practical aspects of Christian living. The scripture readings and prayers emphasize themes such as humility, faith, perseverance, and the importance of love and service to others. The liturgical colour for Ordinary Time is green, symbolizing growth and hope in the Christian faith. https://lnkd.in/d3KrNneq

Gandhiji was not just the father of our nation, but also the reason we celebrate International Day of Non-Violence, proving how deeply he touched the world. He may have been from a different time and the world has evolved into a much different place now. But his principles of honesty, non-violence and truthfulness are still the strong ideals. In fact, they are ideals that will keep humanity moving in the right direction. There are a few more Gandhian thoughts that hold true today. https://lnkd.in/gfs_-nmQ

I am human... My multiracial heritage often renders me invisible to some, as if my existence strips away the privilege of feeling offended or unaccepted. Comments like "you're not Black enough" or "that's your white side talking" further emphasize this sentiment. People's perceptions of my identity often overshadow the fact that I am, first and foremost, human. This invisibility underscores a deeper issue: the longing for future generations to experience love, acceptance, and liberation within their families and beyond. It's perplexing how we can harbor animosity towards those we see daily based on physical attributes yet profess love for an unseen divine entity. Perhaps we extend a little tenderness towards one another, just as we believe in the ripple effects of faith or good karma. Navigating a multiracial identity has been a journey marked by feeling like an outsider to both sides of my racial heritage, haunted by the pain of the past. For some, I represent a reminder of that pain, while others embody hope. Yet, I also face the challenge of not feeling "enough" for specific individuals. Finding a sense of love and belonging within a racial identity space is complex, especially when longing for acceptance. Despite this, my upbringing taught me the importance of self-love and resilience. While seeking secure attachment like everyone else, I grapple with the reality that societal norms often fail to embrace individuals like me due to physical attributes. Therefore, I've learned to cultivate a sense of belonging, allowing me to bounce back from exclusion and find strength in self-acceptance. When I hear people talk about creating spaces of belonging, I can't help but question if they're considering what it's like never truly to feel like you belong. But instead of just wondering, let's become love warriors and actively create those spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and cherished. Let's challenge the norms, break down barriers, and build bridges of love and understanding. Together, we can cultivate a world where belonging isn't just a dream but a reality for all. https://lnkd.in/gDYhfyr6
