Some days knowing you are about to see and breath real freedom, makes you feel weightless.

New journey, new adventures, new starts. Life gives and she can take. Live each day to the fullest and BE YOU!! Don't be what everyone wants you to be!

🎼: Weightless ~ Natasha Bedingford~

✈️ : LeLoo's World

The sky is the limit

And I just wanna flow

Free as a spirit on a journey of hope

Cut the strings and let me go

I'm weightless, I'm weightless

Millions of balloons tethered to the ground

Weight of the world tries to hold us down

Cut the strings and let me go

I'm weightless, I'm weightless

I'm weightless, I'm weightless, I'm weightless...

Sometimes it is all in how we perceive things. Finding understanding of others, comes with growth withing yourself.

“To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” ― Stephen R. Covey

“No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.” ― Ansel Adams

So this week was one of my favourite topics for the Grove Photo club. It was Cute Pet Photos. Everyone at the club knows this is one of my passions.

Then I gave myself an added challenge, thanks to Wren's knowledge and great teaching, I played with layers.. and this is the final take at the end of the day.

Thank you to Aardvark and Rezz Room for the companions. Thank you to Tolla and Terry for Frogmore being the amazing background.

🎼: Tractor ~ Granger Smith~

✈️ : Visit this amazing sim Sainte Rose SurMer So much to see.

Before the sun came up

He sipped that coffee black

Slid on his muddy boots

Pulled down his feed store cap

He taught me how to grease the points

On that massey 2-4-0

But I was way too busy

Didn't really care to go

So he worked the fields alone

But what I didn't know

Up on that tractor

Things might be faster in the world

But big wheels rollin' slow

Help you see what's important

What really does matter

Up on that tractor

Just like the dirt is black

So do the years fly by

He stayed home with mom

I travelled far and wide

And like a good man does

He listened when I called

Told him 'bout my crazy life

Cut the strings and let me go

I'm weightless, I'm weightless

Weight of the world tries to hold us down

Cut the strings and let me go

I'm weightless, I'm weightless

I'm weightless, I'm weightless, I'm weightless...

Everything in life takes courage. Each new adventure we take, takes courage and a leap of faith.

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.” – Maya Angelou

“One isn’t necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest.” – Maya Angelou

🎼: Pocketful of Sunshine ~ Natasha Bedingford~

✈️ : LeLoo's World

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine

I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh-oh

Do what you want but you're never gonna break me

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh-oh

Take me away (Take me away)

A secret place (A secret place)

A sweet escape (A sweet escape)

Take me away (Take me away)

Take me away (Take me away)

To better days (To better days)

Take me away (Take me away)

A hiding place (A hiding place)

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine

I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh-oh

Do what you want but you're never gonna break me (Oh)

Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh-oh

(Never gonna shake me, never gonna shake me)

I found this beautiful place to be at the Buddha Garden. It was simply stated "Peace". Honestly with the way things are today in society today, I thought it was perfect.

Time to find your zen and share it with others. Share love, peace and good will to others.

🎼: Bette Davis Eyes ~ Kim Carnes~

Her hair is Harlow gold

Her lips a sweet surprise

Her hands are never cold

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll turn her music on you

You won't have to think twice

She's pure as New York snow

She got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you, she'll unease you

All the better just to please you

She's precocious, and she knows just what it

Takes to make a pro blush

She got Greta Garbo's standoff sighs, she's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home

It whets her appetite

She'll lay you on a throne

She got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you

Roll you like you were dice

Until you come out blue

She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you, when she snows you

Offer feed with the crumbs she throws you

She's ferocious and she knows just what it

Takes to make a pro blush

All the boys think she's a spy, she's got Bette Davis eyes

Music is my soul. It envelopes your mind and heart. There are endless genres you can choose from to suit the mood. Or you can choose a genre to lift you up on the toughest of days.

Playing an instrument is a way to let go. Let the moment envelope you.

“Music replays the past memories, awakens our forgotten worlds and make our minds travel.”

– Michael Bassey Johnson

“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.”

🎼: Drift Away ~Dobie Gray~

(thank you for the song suggestion Antony xo)

And when my mind is free

You know a melody can move me

And when I'm feelin' blue

A guitar's comin' through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy that you've given me

I want you to know I believe in your song

And rhythm and rhyme and harmony

You've helped me along, makin' me strong

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

Ho, ho, oh-ho, yeah

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul (free my soul)

I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

Yeah, hey, hey, yeah

Give me the beat, boys, and free my soul

I wanna get lost in your rock 'n' roll and drift away

Na, na, now won't ya

Won't ya take me?

Whoa-ho, take me

Finding that peace and quiet sometimes means returning to where you found a moment that made you feel at peace..

Some of the Lyrics to Sunrise:

Sunrise

Sunrise

Looks like morning in your eyes

But the clock's said 9:15 for hours

Sunrise

Sunrise

Couldn't tempt us if it tried

Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said

Oooo, oooo, oooo

Oooo, oooo, oooo

Oooo, oooo, oooo

To you

Surprise

Surprise

Couldn't find it in your eyes

But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Nothing like living your life.. having fun with those that make you smile and happy. Having this beautiful circle of friends have enriched my life so much, it is amazing.

Thank you ~ Lally ~ for joining me on this day at the beautiful Dutch Pavilion. Landmark to follow.

🎼: Living in the Moment ~Jason Mraz ~

So I just let go of what I know I don't know

And I know I'll only do this by

Living in the moment

Living our life

Easy and breezy

With peace in my mind

With peace in my heart

Peace in my soul

Wherever I'm going, I'm already home

Living in the moment

I'm letting myself off the hook for things I've done

I let my past go past

And now I'm having more fun

I'm letting go of the thoughts

That do not make me strong

And I believe this way can be the same for everyone

Remember my thrill of fall being here... well this is one of the reasons...

This will be coming to you soon Witherwood Thicket another fantastic creation by Tolla and Terry.

Don't fight it, fight it

But if I'm gonna go for it

(I remember that, that I)

I see that I want it, want it (Be free)

Don't fight it, fight it

But if I'm gonna go for it

(I remember that, that I)

I'm not nothing without a steady hand (I'm a free woman)

🎼: Another Day in Paradise ~ Phil Collins~

✈️ : Oblivion

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you

You and me in paradise

Think about it

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

She can't walk but she's trying

Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you

You and me in paradise

New challenges we embrace each day. Thank you to Photo Club for ones that make me think... try and push forward with ☺♥ I am sure I have hair days like this in RL when I try to come up with what I should for the photoclub... hahaha ♥

🎼: Rise~ Katy Perry~

✈️ : Luane's World

I won't just survive

Oh, you will see me thrive

Can't write my story

I'm beyond the archetype

I won't just conform

No matter how you shake my core

'Cause my roots, they run deep, oh

Oh, ye of so little faith

Don't doubt it, don't doubt it

Victory is in my veins

I know it, I know it

And I will not negotiate

I'll fight it, I'll fight it

I will transform

When, when the fire's at my feet again

And the vultures all start circling

They're whispering, you're out of time

But still, I rise

This is no mistake, no accident

When you think the final nail is in, think again

Don't be surprised, I will still rise

Have to love going somewhere, that it is easy to relax and just let your creativity blossom.

This song I chose because I love it and truly who fishes at night ☺ *winks*

🎼: Fishing in the Dark ~ Nitty Gritty Dirt Band~

The scene was created at the beautiful sim of ✈️ : Frogmore

Would anyone go fishing out there tonight?

Aha, let's cast the line

Lazy yellow moon comin' up tonight

Shinin' through the trees

The crickets are singin' and lightning bugs are floatin' on the breeze

Baby, get ready

Across the field where the creek turns back

By the old stump row

I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows

Baby, get ready

Come on, baby, ooh

I love it when Tolla reaches out and says.. "Guess what...." I always know it is something new that will be exciting to go and visit.

Romping through Frogmore as it keeps changing is a photographers dream come true. New corners to explore and such... this one is created in the SE corner of the sim.. check it out.. nothing like a rustic day fishing or camping out.

The scene was created at the beautiful sim of ✈️ : Frogmore

This was a wonderful way to start a new year.

This amazing woman ~Wanna~ has always had my back and been honest with me and never turned her back on me.

Added note: Thank you to Wanna for the pose and location ♥

The past year has been a bit rough and I have missed out on some wonderful friendships. I am so happy many have stood by me through the trying times and challenges to get on.

🎼: This One is for the Girls~ Martina McBride~~

✈️ : Snowbird

This is for all you girls about 13

High school can be so rough, can be so mean

Hold onto, onto your innocence

Stand your ground when everybody's giving in

This one's for the girls

This is for all you girls about 25

In little apartments, just trying to get by

Living on, on dreams and spaghetti-o's

Wondering where your life is gonna go

This one's for the girls

Who've ever had a broken heart

Who've wished upon a shooting star

You're beautiful the way you are

This one's for the girls

Who love without holding back

Who dream with everything they have

All around the world

This one's for the girls (this one's for all the girls)

Taking a breath.. Stopping to smell the flowers ... Not always being in such a rush.. Just STOP ... Find that inner peace, it is worth it!

🎼: I Can See Clearly Now ~Jimmy Cliff~

✈️ : Nong Han Kumphawapi

This sim is amazing the colours, the windlight that they use is phenomenal. I wanted to make it blend a bit more with the moment, so tweaked it a smidge.

I can see clearly now the rain is gone

I can see all obstacles in my way

Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

Ooh, yes, I can make it now the pain is gone

All of the bad feelings have disappeared

Here is that rainbow I've been praying for

It's gonna be a bright (bright)

Bright (bright) sunshiny day

(Ooh) look all around, there's nothing but blue skies

Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies

This is the time of year to reach out and hug those you love, but if you don't have that someone, please first and foremost remember to love thyself.

Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

🎼: Flowers ~ Miley Cyrus~

✈️ : Gaia Rising

We were good, we were gold

Kinda dream that can't be sold

We were right 'til we weren't

Built a home and watched it burn

Mmm, I didn't wanna leave you, I didn't wanna lie

Started to cry, but then remembered

I forgive every word you said

Well hats off to photoclub you got me... Talk about trying new things... Everyone has their own perspective on things... but try it with a camera and see where you go.

🎼: Sunshine~ One Republic~

✈️ : Luane's World

Crazy, lately I've been findin'

Tryna write myself with somethin'

You just tryna get a word and life is not fair

I've been workin' on my tunnel vision

Tryna get a new prescription

Takin' swings and even missin', but I don't care

I'm dancin' more just a little bit

Breathin' more just a little bit

Fail a little less just a little bit

Like life is woo-ho!

I'm makin' more just a little bit

Spend a little more to get rid of it

Smile a little more and I'm into it

Even on the stormiest of days you can usually find some small beacon of light or sunshine. Have a lovely week everyone ♥

Sadly this sim is closing soon, but stay tuned as I am sure Terry will create something else beautiful. So stay tuned for his great work. ♥

🎼: Rain ~ The Beatles~

✈️ : Welcome to Vindfjell sim

Rain

I don't mind

Shine

The weather's fine

I can show you

That when it starts to rain (when the rain comes down)

Everything is the same (when the rain comes down)

I can show you

I can show you

Rain

I don't mind

Shine

The weather's fine

Can you hear me?

That when it rains and shines (when it rains and shines)

It's just a state of mind? (When it rains and shines)

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Over the years, there have been all kinds of different ways to listen to music, from vinyl to 8 Tracks (yes, I said it.. hahaha), cassettes, CDs, and now just online via whatever service one likes.

Biggest of hugs and thanks to my dearest friend ~Christian~

This group of musicians is my favourite to listen to no matter the day. I chose this song because the scene in the video inspired me to do this photo.

🎼: A Thousand Years (Christina Perri) by the Piano Guys~

When you get to Frogmore, you can always find somewhere to kick back and just relax.

Well a misclick landed me on this chair and the fun began. Little Ms Diamond thought my backside was a trampoline (thankfully her nails weren't too sharp)... DaisyDoo.. just wanted a bit of TLC... All I wanted was the strawberries.. 😊

This scene was created in the new area just established in the SW corner ... called Splish Splash.

Please contact Tolla Crisp in world to join Frogmore Group, this will give you the advantage to be able to rezz items and join in on special contests etc. Please remember Frogmore is a "G-Rated" sim.

This weeks challenge for photoclub was Gangster themed. Needless to say I couldn't think of how to do this alone so I reached out and voila.. we have the all girl gangsters.. hahaha.

Girl Gangsters... Guns a loaded.. no one's taking us down. We got each others backs in the good times, the fugly times and the what the h*** times... (If we offer you cupcakes/baking, watch out for the cupcakes... they tend to deal a bit of a bang)

🎼: Gangsters ~Specials~

Don't offer us legal protection

They use the law to commit crime

I dare dread to think what the future will bring

When we're living in gangster time

Don't call me Scarface!

I bet you Bernie Rhodes

Gangster

Mafia!

Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue, whoa

C'mon, c'mon

C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon

Whoa

Oh, you mean, don't copy Scarface

Bernie Rhodes knows, don't argue, whoa

To all the women out there... This is for you. Remember your strengths.. Remember your worth. As they say .. "I am woman, hear me ROAR"..

🎼: Phenomenal Woman ~ Olivia Newton-John~

✈️ : Countryside, Habitat Springs

Pretty women wonder

Where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit

A fashion model's size.

But when I try to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say -

It's the reach of my arms,

The span of my hips,

The stride of my steps,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman,

Phenomenal woman.

Yes, indeed,

'Cause I'm a woman,

Phenomenal woman.

Baby, that's me.

So this past week we were to practise Balance and Golden Ratio. Honestly not so easy to do... you have to truly look at your scene and dig deep to do this. I imagine as time goes it will get easier ... Learning the rules of photography is fun and challenging.

Thank you for the lovely setting it was taken at ✈️ : Vox Populi

Friends you know...

Friends you trust...

Friends you explore new adventures with

Then you simply put the pedal to the metal and GO FOR IT!!... Sorry Kitten if I elbowed you... the stairs were a bit rough to navigate... hahaha

Thank you Nia for the invite on this... and the fun even if it was a bit messed up by the time change. It was fun and good for a few laughs... as always

🎼: Pedal to the Medal ~Kazzer~

Wee run on the beach

Breagha enjoying life as usual

Christmas time is a time for reflection. I have looked back on my past year and have no regrets about my year of recovery from burnout. I have embraced my new life and cherished the new people who have blessed it over this past year—and those with whom I have been friends for longer than that.

I want to thank you all for your patience and understanding, your love and your kindness.

Special thank you to my friends from the Grove Art Club. You are an amazing group of people. Some of you are (in no paritcular order, I will add) Lori, Nia, Christian,Wren, Poppy, Esh, Hep,Dutch, Gray, Lally, Mo and many more. To my friends that have been there for me and our friendships have grown .. Thank you for being who you are... and you all KnOW who you are ♥♥

This sim,Memories of Christmas is stunning to look at. Worth a visit without a doubt.

🎼: Thankful ~Josh Groban~

Somedays we forget

To look around us

Somedays we can't see

The joy that surrounds us

So caught up inside ourselves

We take when we should give.

So for tonight we pray for

What we know can be.

And on this day we hope for

What we still can't see.

It's up to us to be the change

And even though we all can still do more

There's so much to be thankful for.

Look beyond ourselves

There's so much sorrow

It's way too late to say

I'll cry tomorrow

Each of us must find our truth

It's so long overdue

(and if they are watching ...imagine them in their undies... hahaha ♥ That is what I used to do)

Sometimes we need reminders that we are amazing!...To my friends .....YOU are amazing.

🎼: I Love Me ~Demi Lovato~

✈️ : Natureland Retreat

Special thank you ~ Vidarr~ for opening his awesome sim to play on.

Flippin' through all these magazines

Tellin' me who I'm supposed to be

Way too good at camouflage

Can't see what I am, I just see what I'm not

I'm guilty 'bout everything that I eat (every single day)

Feelin' myself is a felony

Jedi level sabotage

Voices in my head make up my entourage

'Cause I'm a black belt when I'm beating up on myself

But I'm an expert at giving love to somebody else

I, me, myself and I don't see eye to eye

Me, myself and I

Oh, why do I compare myself to everyone?

And I always got my finger on the self-destruct

I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Why am I always looking for a ride or die?

'Cause mine's the only heart I'm gonna have for life

After all the times I went and fucked it up

(All the times I went and fucked it up)

I wonder when I love me is enough (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I so love this sim, I have spent significant time here as it is so relaxing and not overwhelming. Truly a sim to visit. ♥

🎼: Silent Night~ Pentatonix.~

Having fun and hanging with people that make you smile and laugh is what this life is all about.

🎼: Island in the Sun ~Weezer~

Thank you to Synnergy for the backdrop and Secret poses for the pose (with slight editing)

Hip-hip

Hip-hip

Hip-hip

Hip-hip

When you're on a holiday

You can't find the words to say

All the things that come to you

And I wanna feel it too

On an island in the sun

We'll be playing and having fun

And it makes me feel so fine

I can't control my brain

Hip-hip

Hip-hip

When you're on a golden sea

You don't need no memory

Just a place to call your own

As we drift into the zone

On an island in the sun

We'll be playing and having fun

And it makes me feel so fine

I can't control my brain

We'll run away together

We'll spend some time forever

We'll never feel bad anymore

Exploring and traveling are among my favorite things to do. Although I'm a bit of a homebody or close-to-home gal, I do take full advantage of exploring in SL.

If you have time stop by and check out Lakeside. It is very lovely to explore.

This was another one of Lally's great ideas brought to life. She truly has the patience of a saint...Through all our giggles and laughter, she pulls us all together... and as you can see there is a LOT of us and we were missing a few people of the Grove Art Club but we know and they know that they were in our hearts.

From Left to right:

I’m gonna call my friend Olly up here to sing to you ladies

Olly!

Let’s go man

My name is Olly, nice to meet you, can I tell you baby?

Look around, there’s a whole lot of pretty ladies

But none like you, you shine so bright, yeah

I was wondering if you and me could spend a minute

On the floor up close gettin' lost in it

I won’t give up without a fight

I just wanna, oh baby

I just want you to dance with me tonight

So come on, oh baby

I just want you to dance with me tonight

Speaking of photobombing this week.. hahaha.. this was too good to not pull off...

There I was minding my own business and lone behold but Antony decided to just drop in on my photo! I was peacefully sitting there drinking my Iced Capp and reading with Rex ... and who jumped out and startled me... You got it the guy behind the book loaner stump.

Ha! Thanks as always to Antony for being my source of good laughs..Thanks for posing with me yet again after the initial true photobomb. ((hugs))

Everything happens for a reason.

Everybody enters your life for a reason.

Cherishing those you love as you never know what tomorrow holds.

"Thinking of you. When skies seem dark and times get tough, and you don't know what to do...just know you have a friend right here to support and help you through." — Anonymous

“Thinking of you. Today you've been on my mind so I thought I'd get in touch. I'm praying that all is going well for we haven't seen you much. I know our lives can get so busy with all that we must do, but I wanted to take this time to say I'm thinking of you too." ~Anonymous~

🎼: I Can't Stop Thinking About You ~ Sting ~

✈️ : LeLoo's World

Do I hear laughters through a veil of snow and ice?

Where could you be on such a lonely winter's night?

I can't stop thinking about you

I can't stop wanting you this way

I can't face dreaming without you

That's why I'm searching night and day

This heart's a lonely hunter

These hands are frozen fists

I can't stop thinking about you

I don't care if you exist

So when life on occasion throws you nothing but lemons, I agree ... make lemonade, but then turn around and give them a raspberry, after all it feels good to go "PHHHHH" on things at times.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The best way to cheer yourself is to try to cheer someone else up." ~Mark Twain

"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it." ~ Maya Angelou

🎼: One of Those Days ~ Whitney Houston~

✈️ : When wanderlust takes you all over, check this one out! TheNest

Ooh, baby, baby

You don't know what I've been going through

Sing it again now, ooh, baby, baby

It's obvious to see exactly what I need

One of those days

When the sun is shinin' bright

And my life is going right

And the simple things are not wasted

One of those days

When you're cruisin' in your car

An' you might just see the stars

And it's warm outside and beautiful, oh yeah

Always chase your dreams. Chase the sun. Look for the good, embrace it. Acknowledge the bad but let it go and embrace the beauty around you.

“It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” —L.M. Montgomery

"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be fulfilled. If your happiness depends on money, you will never be happy with yourself. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the world belongs to you." —Lao Tzu

🎼: Chasing the Sun ~The Wanted~

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll find us chasing the sun

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, you'll find us chasing the sun

And when the daylight's fadin'

We're gonna play in the dark 'til it's golden again

And now it feels so amazing

Can't see it coming, I will never grow old again

You'll find us chasing the sun

Just two 🍁 Canadian women wishing you all a Happy Canada Day!!

🎼: In Canada ~ Chris and Dave Hadfield~

This song was too good to not use. A little dated but honestly... the nuts and bolts of what living in Canada is like.

Love to all my fellow Canadians. No matter where you live or where you came from originally, in the end, we are all Canadian. Proud to be🍁 Canadian 🍁

🎼: New York, New York ~ Frank Sinatra ~

I was honoured to be asked to put a couple of photos into the following Gallery. Today was the showing, but sadly worked kept me away. Please check out this amazing gallery featuring Many Amazing artists.

✈️ : Petit Industrial Gallery

Start spreadin' the news

I'm leavin' today

I want to be a part of it

New York, New York

These vagabond shoes

Are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York, New York

I want to wake up

In a city that doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

These little-town blues

Are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it

In old New York

There is enough hatred in this world. Time to love thy neighbour as they are and for who they are. No titles are needed, as everyone is human.

I am proud to support Pride month, week, day ... year ♥
