So this morning's Threshold Ride became a Threshold Pride Ride! As you can easily see by glancing at my track list, there was a definite theme. Pride. Celebrate. Perfect. As we celebrate Pride here in Los Angeles, I wanted to take the opportunity in this morning's class to highlight musically what we are celebrating. What we should be proud of. Ourselves. No matter who you are. No matter what you are. No matter where you come from. No matter who you love. Each of us is so important. So awesome. So amazing. So worth it! We have traveled a long way to get to where we are today. We have a long way to go, but there is so much to celebrate! And there is so much to look forward to! So let's emphasize the positive! Spend less time being afraid or tearing down those that may be different. Spend more time loving everyone for what they can contribute. And everyone can contribute something positive to society. And the easiest and best way to do that is to start by just loving each other. Loving yourself. Yes, it can all be taken down to the most basic thing...love. So just do it. Just love it! Just love each other. Just love you! Be confident. Work as hard as you can to be the best you can be. Then, stand up for what you so strongly believe. For what you deserve. Fairness. Equality. Love from others. So let's get this celebration started! You are born this way so be proud! I got my pride and it is a deeper love for all of us! Don't be afraid to express yourself. You are perfect, and you are so worth it! Happy Pride everyone! Celebrate! Be safe! Be kind! Love!
