If we are going to find our way out of shame and back to each other, vulnerability is the path and courage is the light. To set down those lists of *what we're supposed to be* is brave. To love ourselves and support each other in the process of becoming real is perhaps the greatest single act of daring greatly.

Vulnerability is the absolute heartbeat of innovation and creativity. There can be zero innovation without vulnerability.

If you're not in the arena also getting your ass kicked, I'm not interested in your feedback.

The truth is, rarely can a response make something better - what makes something better is connection.

Shame derives its power from being unspeakable...If we speak shame, it begins to wither. Just the way exposure to light was deadly for the gremlins, language and story bring light to shame and destroy it.

Courage is telling our story, not being immune to criticism.
