June is Pride Month
"LGBTQ Pride Month is commemorated each year in the month of June to honor the 1969 Stonewall uprising in New York City. This uprising marked the beginning of a movement to outlaw discriminatory laws and practices against LGBTQ Americans. Today, LGBTQ Pride Month celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, attracting millions of participants around the world."

"Gratitude is when we express appreciation and thanks for the good things in our lives. We can be thankful for the things we receive, the people who surround us, and the fun things we get to experience and do."

Throughout June we will focus on reviewing all 12 tools. Ask your Star about the Tools they have learned.
Our tools help us deal with our feelings and emotions in manageable ways. Ask our Stars about the tools.
