      From ResilientWoman July 1

      Thanks, I need this. I live in a progressive city but a backward neighborhood. Before I moved to be close to the college I'll be attending next year and my lesbian pastored church, I rented a home where I had dozens of other lesbian moms within a few blocks of me. Now I live in a 42 unit apartment complex where parents won't let their children play with my daughter and give me a dramatic cold shoulder treatment.

      The folks at my church are lovely but just don't relate to my Southern culture or need for community. Most of them are extreme introverts and have discomfort with my extroverted personality. I struggle to get through the isolation of being cut off from other queer folk and the isolation of being a single mom. I write my heart out here at DailyStrength as often as I can, wanting no one to suffer through the ignorance that was my youth or my past. If I know something that can help someone, I must give them this knowledge as a gift and plead with them to embrace with ease and gentleness their full potential. The planet needs each of us to step up to our full capacity for compassion and into our full power. Not one of us is expendable or replaceable. As a wise one said, "we are each only as free as the most oppressed of us."

      Thank you for supporting my freedom and being part of my community. I look forward to growing with you over the years to come. May our grandchildren not even understand what bigotry is or fathom oppression. May we each live out a legacy of compassion and love. Enjoy your week. Hugs.

      I'm having trouble dealing with my partners decision to join the military. I didn't at first but now that it has sunk in I'm freaking out about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
