<big>In the LLMC program I have witnessed participants reveal the pains of their pasts, and some for the first time. Abuse, insecurities, and fears were uncovered, and support was followed up by Office Hours facilitators to provide steps to heal wounds. It was empowering to be in the room when individuals can reach within to love and honour themselves. We have so much power when we recognize who we are and are able to define that for ourselves. Now I can look past the pain and the hurt that I have experience, no matter what workplace environment may throw; collectively we can make such a powerful difference.</big>

<big>Although there are great moments of self-love at these Circles, there have also been heart-breaking moments of reality. Moments when I realize that no matter how much we are affirmed and can find support in one another, and knowing that support is present, we still need to be strong for those around us. I joined the LLMC program because I believed the environment would be a place where my mind would be challenged, where I would be nourished, and where my interactions with others would lead to growth and development. I was not disappointed!</big>
