A Glimpse into the Resilience and Joy: Visually Impaired Community in Meghalaya A powerful article by Mr. H.H. Mohrmen in the Shillong Times captivated my attention. It delved into the world of visually impaired individuals in Meghalaya, showcasing their resilience, joy, and unique way of navigating life. The article highlighted how these individuals navigate everyday challenges with incredible spirit. They embrace their limitations and find ways to live fulfilling lives, pursuing education, employment, and personal passions. The article also touched on the importance of community and support networks in fostering their well-being. Mr. Mohrmen's words paint a vivid picture of a community that lives life to the fullest, despite facing obstacles. Their stories are a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome adversity and find joy in the ordinary. As a society, it's crucial to learn from the experiences of visually impaired individuals. We must strive to create inclusive spaces and opportunities that empower them to reach their full potential. #Meghalaya #VisuallyImpaired #DisabilityAwareness #Inclusion #Resilience #Community #Inspiration #SocialImpact #LifechangingStories #ShillongTimes #HHMohrmen

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the power I hold as an individual, compared to the power of my "community", a concept where "all of us" are heading together toward the same goal. In reflecting on this concept, it's so easy to get lost in the minutia, feeling lost, aimless, disconnected. Social Media makes it so easy to scroll yourself into numbness. It's so easy to walk away at the end of a busy day, thinking you have made no impact. Telling yourself - why bother, things are hopeless, I'm seeing no real change. When you zoom into the day-to-day, you CAN get lost - mere drops in an endless ocean. But it's the power of our community that brings us home. I believe it's crucial to remember the transformative power of collective action. Just as individual droplets make up a mighty wave, our efforts, knowledge, and ingenuity create an impact far greater than any one of us could achieve alone. Whether working together on a project, sharing insights and knowledge, or striving to solve complex issues, the sum of our capabilities is exponential, not additive. Teamwork, to solve ANY challenge, magnifies our skills, ideas, and aspirations, leading to innovation and problem-solving at an unparalleled scale. Let's commit to leveraging our individual strengths for collective impact, for it is together that we are powerful beyond measure. You never know how far we can go, together. #unity #teamwork #collectiveimpact #strengthinnumbers #innovation #community #omniverse #giglife #whatcanwechangetogether

THE HOPEFUL JOURNEY AHEAD As the hourglass turns, cascading the sands of time, it signifies a ceaseless flow, impartial to human design, Streaming relentlessly towards a chance for renewal, A beacon of hope amid life's perpetual dual. Observing the passage of day and night, Yet each day's departure needn't dim our light, Contemplating the horizon yet to unfold, Empowerment thrives when pessimism is controlled. What would become of our journey without you? The world beckons for your unique hue, Embrace your essence, for you're beyond measure, A treasure trove of gifts, an immeasurable treasure. Let's reignite the fervor, act on our desires, Beyond mere words written on paper, our aspirations aspire, Each goal attained, a lifeline to cherish and savor, For achieving dreams rescues us from life's waiver. This new year heralds a revitalized YOU, A chance to chase dreams, make them come true, A chapter to break barriers, reach new peaks, Unleash your potential, the world eagerly seeks. Now is the time for all we envision, The moment's readiness is not a decision, Beware of procrastination's detrimental hold, Its poison weakens the bold, leaves stories untold. Procrastination, the stealthy thief of dreams, A menace that simmers in silent streams, No more room for excuses, no, not a single one, You possess the power to rewrite what's begun. So, seize the day, the moment, and the hour, For every dream chased is a fragrant flower, Let not procrastination tarnish your narrative, Embrace your potential; the world awaits your directive. 🖊️ Oluwagbemisola Olanudun #iamytop #ytop #ytopglobal #GlobalChangeMaker #personaldevelopment #leadership #sdgs #communitydevelopment #problemsolving #youthleadership #youthinaction #PositiveImpact #BrighterFuture #DreamBig #Transformation #yali #mcn YTOP Global

Are you seeking to deepen your personal and professional reconciliation journey, and build respectful relations with Indigenous peoples and land?  Before reconciliation, there must be a shared understanding of the truth of our colonial history. We must learn from our past if we’re to begin to step into our fuller potential in the present, and re-imagine a better way forward together. Nurture your understanding of Indigenous ways of being and the impacts of colonization with kinSHIFT’s "Elements of Truth: Before Reconciliation," a series of virtual workshops rooted in Indigenous values of reciprocity, inclusion, curiosity, and humility. The Purppl team has participated in this series (some of us multiple times), and have partnered with kinSHIFT to raise awareness about these uplifting, embodied learning opportunities. Take one or all four workshops as they unfold over a month, each offering a pathway to decolonize our minds and relations: 🌎Earth: Uncover the impacts of colonization and gain a deeper understanding of our shared history. 🍃Air: Expand your perspectives by embracing diversity and acknowledging implicit bias and injustice. 🔥Fire: Reflect on social positioning, acknowledge power dynamics, and embrace the potential for change. 💦Water: Raise consciousness about the impacts of micro-aggressions and develop transformative communication skills. Join KinShift for one or all sessions to deepen your understanding and commitment to supporting Indigenous rights, creating just systems, and nurturing relationships that benefit all life forms for generations to come: https://lnkd.in/dJHuNuGP 🌟What to Expect: Engaging activities, experiential learning, and a chance to rethink relationship dynamics. Described as "medicine for relationships," these workshops provide a safe space for exploration, connection, and empowerment. 📅 2024 Workshop Dates: Tuesdays: Feb 6, 13, 20, 27 (2-4:30 pm PST) Thursdays: Apr 18, 25, May 2, 9 (1-3:30 pm PST) (Offered four times per year.) 📱Contact Katie Wong at kinSHIFT for group pricing, and empower your team with knowledge and tools to make meaningful change: https://lnkd.in/gU76iegu #KinShift #ElementsOfTruth #Reconciliation #IndigenousValues #TransformativeLearning #SocialChange
