What's worth doing even if you fail?

You cannot talk about race without talking about privilege. And when people start talking about privilege, they get paralyzed by shame.

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.

Shame: We all have it. It's that gremlin that says 'I'm not enough.' Or, if you're feeling pretty confident,...'ooh, who do you think you are?' Shame always has a seat.

We're a nation of exhausted and over-stressed adults raising over-scheduled children.

The only universal language I know of that wraps up joy and gratitude and love is laughter.

Hope is really a thought.
