“On this #TransDayofVisibility, may all Unitarian Universalists declare our unapologetic support for trans people. As a parent and a faith leader, I know that #translivesaredivine. At the UUA, we emphatically denounce the vicious attacks happening in state legislatures around the country against trans people and their lives, well-being, rights and access to healthcare.
To dehumanize another is distort and damage one’s own humanity. This country is in dire need of more humanity, more compassion, more love and more justice for all.” – From UUA president Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray
Trans Day of Visibility is an annual awareness day celebrated around the world.

Celebrate Trans Day of Visibility, uplifting the beautiful lives and important work of trans & non-binary folk. We share this collaborative poem “Beyond Resilience” created by trans & non-binary writers as part of Forward Together’s annual art project. “Trauma is not our name. Survived is not our identity. The future is unbound, the chains are broken.” #tdov2021

Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray posted this on her facebook this morning, “Family separation and child detention is deeply cruel and inhumane. It must end.
Join me and our partners at the UUSC: Unitarian Universalist Service Committee to call on the Biden Administration to shut down the immigration detention system in the United States and fully restore asylum at our borders.”

May we all be committed to taking action to change our world for the better. #dailyprayer
“The most complete definition of a commitment is this: falling in love with something and then building a structure of behavior around it for those moments when love falters.” – David Brooks
Ten Commitments of Humanists by Kristin Wintermute
#UULent is designed to be used individually, as a family, or as a congregation. For each day in Lent a word has been selected. Each day participants are invited to reflect on the meaning of the day’s word, then create a photograph that represents the word, idea, practice, or concept and post it here and/or elsewhere.
Beginning on Ash Wednesday and for each day until Easter, the word for the day and a related quote will be posted. Reflect and engage throughout the day, checking for the word and quote in the morning, then come back later in the day to add your photo* and to see the images and words others have shared throughout the day (*YOUR photo – please respect copyright!).
May this intentional practice and discipline impact your daily life in ways that bring you closer to your spiritual core and offer you resiliency for life.
Here at West Fork Unitarian Universalists we will strive to post a reflection each day on the word of the day. We look forward to journeying through this season of contemplation with you.
Special thanks to Mr. Barb Greve, Karen Bellevance-Grace, and Alex Kapitan for their work on #UULent
Global Belly Laugh Day encourages people across the world really laugh out loud on January 24. In fact, the Belly Laugh Bounce Around the World suggests that at 1:24 p.m. local time you give yourself over to a great big belly laugh, no matter where you are. If people are confused, that’s okay, because they’re sure to start laughing too. Even if you don’t explain it to them, you’ve all had a good laugh (and they’ll probably laugh more later when they tell their friends about the wacko laughing at nothing!). More Here
