Find your joy

   "The sharing of joy…forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of difference."
                                                                     -Audre Lord
   My interpretation of this quote is similar to a technique used when two people get in a fight as a way to help them get along better. It involves each saying things that they both like as a way of assisting them in connecting. This process aids people in understanding that we should not focus on our differences; that we should understand that we are more alike than we think we are. Before we can connect with others though you need to look for things that bring each of us joy. What do you get up excited to do in the morning? What keeps you up late at night? What could you never do without? In order to share our joy with others, we need to find our own joy first.
