<\/a>Nancy M. Thurston walks right into the middle of the paradox of herself and the world and comes out the other side still standing\u2014joyful and holding hands with a diverse community of people, trees, animals, stars and rocks. She is committed to noticing disrespect in her actions and in her interactions, knowing that it takes justice in EVERY moment to create a just world.<\/p>\nI know I am a mixed bag, just like all of you. But as I step into 2015 I want to soften the inner critical commentary about myself and play a bit more with the wild and bright parts.<\/p>\n
How about you?<\/p>\n

<\/a>Nancy M. Thurston stands on the battlefield being pummeled from all sides\u2014her own self-critical inner voice, a culture gone awry and steeped in injustice, and judgment from many in the social change movement who continue to see her (white skinned and wealthy) as merely the “oppressor.”\u00a0 She wants to be understanding and responsible, always moving forward. In her zest for niceness, she doesn’t take notice and stop those moments when she or others are being disrespectful and caught in injustice and status quo inequities.\u00a0 She means well.<\/p>\n
