It's American Family Day; here are some ideas to help you think of ways to celebrate time with your family!

As the New Year approaches, let's remember that symbolism is how we make meaning in our lives; it doesn't matter how much the price, the time it takes, or the values that cost us. It's the doing for the meaning that matters. If you subscribe to war, thank you for your service. If you subscribe to peace, thank you for your service. If you subscribe to compromise, thank you for your service. The world is will, and the struggle for recognition or survival, unity or debate, exclusion or inclusion, and all that is in between, is everyone's burden and joy. Go where you can be happy, or go where you can make a difference. Or both, if you are lucky. In the New Year, may 2024 bring you what you cherish, what you deserve, and what you envision to help you find or be the heroes that change the world, for better or for worse. Make your voice heard, and listen. And deal with the consequences of those decisions. Your choices echo over eons. Happy New Year? Maybe. Or at least one that brings meaning to your world. Cheers.

👉 Raising sons wholesomely from fathers creates solid future men. Sons become heroes when treated with love. 💪👨👦 👉 Fathers have a tremendous responsibility for shaping the next generation of men. It starts with instilling values, teaching them right from wrong, and showing them the power of love and compassion. 👉 When we raise our sons wholesomely, they sow the seeds for a brighter future. Providing a nurturing environment allows them to grow into confident individuals, unafraid to show vulnerability. 👉 Teaching our sons about respect, empathy, and equality is crucial. We must lead by example, demonstrating these values in our actions and interactions. By doing so, we empower them to become compassionate leaders who positively impact their communities and beyond.

SUPPER SATURDAY’s Changing my crown!!! Keeping quiet to maintain peace may give the illusion of stability, but it's important to question whose peace we are really preserving. If staying silent means compromising your values and core beliefs, it's necessary to speak out. Doing the right thing should never be mistaken for anything else. When we don't stand up for what we believe in, we risk falling for anything. We should remember that we are all interconnected, and the well-being of one person affects us all. By speaking up, you can advocate for justice and change, supporting your brothers and friends along the way. Remember, standing for something doesn't mean neglecting respectful dialogue, but rather asserting your values while promoting understanding and compassion.

As we navigate an ever-evolving world, we're reminded that embracing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) isn't just a choice; it's a calling. It's a call to acknowledge the beauty of our differences and the strength in our unity. DEI isn't an accessory; it's the very fabric of a thriving society and a successful business. It's the catalyst for innovation, the bridge to understanding, and the cornerstone of fairness. Here's why DEI is so important: 1. Unleashing Innovation: Diverse perspectives foster creativity and drive innovation. It's at the intersection of different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences that the most groundbreaking ideas are born. 2. Strengthening Communities: Inclusivity strengthens our communities. When everyone is valued and heard, we build stronger, more resilient societies. 3. Equal Opportunities: DEI levels the playing field. It ensures that opportunities are accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. 4. Reflecting the World: In an increasingly globalized world, businesses and organizations that embrace DEI are better equipped to serve their diverse customer base and contribute to a more interconnected world. 5. Social Progress: We all have a part to play in creating a fairer, more just world. DEI is a commitment to social progress and equality. Today, let's reaffirm our dedication to DEI. Let's actively seek to uplift those who may have faced barriers, and let's celebrate the uniqueness that each person brings to the table. By making DEI not just a policy, but a core value, we can help shape a future that's brighter and more equitable for all. #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #DEI #SocialChange #Innovation #Equality #Empowerment #HR

The quote in the image carries a profound emotional resonance, touching on the theme of kindness and support in our interactions with others. It reads: "Be that person who roots for others. Who tells a stranger they look amazing and encourages others to believe in themselves and their dreams." This message serves as a powerful reminder of the impact we can have on the lives of those around us, even in seemingly small or fleeting moments. It encourages us to become champions of encouragement, to recognize and celebrate the inherent value and potential in each person we encounter. Such an ethos can create a ripple effect, fostering a culture of positivity and empowerment. It suggests that by offering support and confidence to others, we not only help them to see their own worth and abilities but also contribute to a more compassionate and uplifting community. Being that person who roots for others doesn't just change the lives of those we support; it enriches our own, imbuing our interactions with purpose and meaning. This quote serves as an invitation to step into the role of a supporter, a cheerleader for humanity, urging us to see beyond ourselves and contribute to the collective aspiration for personal and shared success.

Do the right thing

On this day 15 years ago, 173 people lost their lives in Victoria’s 2009 Black Saturday fires. It is a day that will forever be remembered for its widespread devastation and lifelong impacts. From these tragic fires, much has been learned. A taskforce from the Centre’s predecessor, the Bushfire CRC, assembled researchers from fire agencies and research organisations around Australia to examine the key issues in the bushfires, assessing more than 1,300 homes, interviewing more than 600 residents, and taking more than 21,000 photos. The learnings from the Black Saturday fires are collated here (https://lnkd.in/gQm4pdeb) and form the basis for many of the fire- and resilience-related research carried out by the Centre, our Participants, and researchers today. https://shorturl.at/flzJ8
