Vulnerability is the core, the heart, the center, of meaningful human experience.

I don't have to chase extraordinary moments to find happiness - it's right in front of me if I'm paying attention and practicing gratitude.

Courage - To tell the story of who you are with your whole heart.

You can’t dress rehearse the bad moments.

Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it - it can't survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy... When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.

Most people believe vulnerability is weakness. But really vulnerability is Courage. We must ask ourselves...are we willing to show up and be seen.

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