Complacency is the leading cause of injury in the workplace.
Cut keys too many times without using your gloves and you might get cut.
Put the ladder away improperly and it may collapse on someone.
Cutting corners at work without following protocol is higher risk for something going wrong.
Indulge in a little too much fast food and you may see a dip in your health.
Neglect the ones you love and they might neglect you back.
Give in to your guilty pleasures a little too much and it's grip on you could tighten more than it should.
Just once becomes twice and then too many to count. Promises empty and words dry.
Cut corners leave you in an endless loop.
Complacency is the leading cause of injury in life.

Letter to our Queer & Trans Youth
Hey, you. I thought I’d start this letter by telling you a little about myself, just so you know who you’re dealing with. I’m an emotional dad, father to three amazing kids who we met through the foster care system, and whose presence in our lives has really transformed my sense of responsibility to the communities that surround us. The connections we’ve made with one another, with our extended families, and with the communities where we live and look for belonging have catapulted us into this whirlwind of emotional tumult which, while not easy by any stretch of the measure, has also been remarkably healing. I realize ours is really only a one-sided chosen family, since our kids didn’t get to choose to live here, but I’d like to think that they did choose to let us love them, which allowed them to grow to love us. And I think that’s where I want to go with this letter- to a place where you can find belonging and healing- even if the pathway there may be peppered with some emotional tumult.
