Introducing JOURNEYS
my quarterly ezine for the LGBT
community.
Original Articles

Community News
Book Reviews
Journeys Ezine: Every quarter I publish a unique online magazine filled with original articles, links to community news and events all of which are focused on Affirming LGBT identity.
My goal is to provide informative, educational and inspiring information for the LGBT community
that you can easily share with friends, family and professionals.
Past issues have addressed transitioning for families, coming out, minority stress and LGBT
mental health. Most recently, I spoke with KPFK regarding the stopping homophobic bullying
and preventing suicide among LGBT youth. You can find resources mentioned in that
interview on my youth page or you can download and listen to the interview.
I invite you to read past issues or sign up to receive it in your email
box.
I hate spam so I never share your information with anyone!

Want to Help Prevent the Bullying and Suicide of LGBT Youth: Start Here How can we each make a difference in our own families, neighborhoods, churches, mosques, synagogues, schools and communities? You are each in a unique position to influence your world. In the same way a pebble sends the ripples through the water , your words, actions and attitudes shape those around you. And it can begin with something as simple as sharing a cup of coffee and starting a conversation. I hope what you find here will be inspiring and informative. Summer 2010

Mindfulness is the practice of being in the present, attending to our experience, sensation, emotion and thought-without judgement. The disciplines of meditation and yoga are ways of developing this mindfulness. I hope this article will inspire you to look again at your life with curiosity, wonder and possibility.

February 09: How's Your Health? The Impact of Minority Stress January 09: Building Bridges
What all minorities have in common is the experience of oppression and marginalization by the majority culture. As minorities, we have all been "outside the circle" of the mainstream. We have all experienced being different. And we have all fled some form of persecution or discrimination, in search of our freedom. This article focuses on the common ground that all minorities share.
