holiday baking makes me feel good

This is one reason I do what I do! It feels so good to give a gift that makes people so happy. I love it when people start hinting around about the bread (#itsreallycake) as the holiday season approaches! #holidaybaking https://t.co/zmoOakm5Bk

From @LibbysPumpkin, the recipe! Makes 10 of the mini loaves. I get the loaf pans on sale during holiday clearance from @OldTimePottery and @MichaelsStores, and save them for the next year. 🍞🎄♥️https://t.co/IPWUqCFeAt

SCYSPI: advancing our understanding of suicide

Thank you to the South Carolina Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative for all you do.

Tough to think about right before #Thanksgiving, but “happy holidays” don’t protect against #suicide. Knowing the facts helps us understand the scope of the problem and reduce stigma. Thanks, @scyspi, for your tireless work on behalf of our young people. #SuicidePrevention https://t.co/zJHfvhgi94

celebrate the international day for tolerance

It’s the #InternationalDayforTolerance!From @UNESCO’s Declaration of Principles on Tolerance: “Tolerance is #respect, #acceptance and #appreciation of the rich #diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of #beinghuman.” 🌎@RandomActsOrg #tolerance pic.twitter.com/MERbDplVUR

In honor of this day, I want to share a couple of excerpts from the UNESCO Declaration of Principles on Tolerance.
🌎
Tolerance is respect, acceptance and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world's cultures, our forms of expression and ways of being human. It is fostered by knowledge, openness, communication, and freedom of thought, conscience and belief. Tolerance is harmony in difference. It is not only a moral duty, it is also a political and legal requirement. Tolerance, the virtue that makes peace possible, contributes to the replacement of the culture of war by a culture of peace.
🌍
Consistent with respect for human rights, the practice of tolerance does not mean toleration of social injustice or the abandonment or weakening of one's convictions. It means that one is free to adhere to one's own convictions and accepts that others adhere to theirs. It means accepting the fact that human beings, naturally diverse in their appearance, situation, speech, behaviour and values, have the right to live in peace and to be as they are. It also means that one’s views are not to be imposed on others.
❤️
