Empathy doesn't require that we have the exact same experiences as the person sharing their story with us...Empathy is connecting with the emotion that someone is experiencing, not the event or the circumstance.

There is nothing more vulnerable than creativity. . . It's not about winning, it's not about losing, it's about showing up and being seen.

I believe a joyful life is made up of joyful moments, gracefully strung together by trust, gratitude, inspiration, and faith.

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

That's what life is about: about daring greatly, about being in the arena.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

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.
