The Queen is an underrated leader. 70 years of constancy. Quiet, humble, gracious, resilient, impactful and influential - without authority! That is great leadership. Today all of Great Britain unites, honors and celebrates - history and tradition. Even US television is airing the Platinum Jubilee live. That is Influence and Impact. Honestly, a welcome escape from the daily headlines of more violence, tragedy and divisiveness. Perhaps our elected leaders should take note. And instead of being loud, angry, and divisive, tearing down our statues, institutions and history - we can rally around and take pride in all that is good here and how far we've come. A little national pride goes a long way. And speaking of Pride - June being Pride Month - we should be proud that nowhere in the world is the LGBTQ+ community more respected, more welcomed, with more allies. There is still a long way to go...but for now lets celebrate how far we've grown as a nation and community as a beacon of freedom and hope. There is a reason why so many millions of people across the globe still try to make a new life here...
