Here's what is truly at the heart of wholeheartedness: Worthy now, not if, not when, we're worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.

Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.

Vulnerability is not about fear and grief and disappointment; it is the birthplace of everything we're hungry for.

Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn't change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

There’s nothing more daring than showing up, putting ourselves out there and letting ourselves be seen.

Love is a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them - we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.
