Dean shares a story of when he was only twelve years old and had a
transcendent moment of letting go of fear and knowing he was alright no
matter what. Sheryl likes the story he shares when he began to be aware
of how we all were similar different and still unique.
Dean wrote, “ I was the skinny uncoordinated kid: the spaz in the fifth
grade playground lingo of the day. The only game I was good at was
dodgeball—not hurling the ball at others but jumping out of its way.

and the world finds itself in at this moment in time and must move pass
the negative rhetoric to work cooperatively to bring about the changes
that are needed. We must move pass limiting ourselves to the ideas of
