Creativity, which is the expression of our originality, helps us stay mindful that what we bring to the world is completely original and cannot be compared.

We are a culture of people who've bought into the idea that if we stay busy enough, the truth of our lives won't catch up with us.

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.

I now see how gifts like courage, compassion, and connection only work when they are exercised. Every day.

Shame derives its power from being unspeakable.

The dark does not destroy the light; it defines it. It's our fear of the dark that casts our joy into the shadows.

Think about what’s pleasurable, not just what’s possible.
