Act with integrity, intention, excellence, and accountability.
Keep it simple. Keep it clear. Make it easy. Find the joy.
Honor elders, mentors, history, and community.
Respect yourself: value your time, trust your inner wisdom, honor your experience and expertise.
Share freely; the opposite of scarcity is enough.
