We have become this very fear-based culture, especially post-9/11. Fear is the opposite of love, in my opinion. I think there would be more love in the world. I'm not talking about rainbows and unicorns and '70s Coca-Cola commercials. I'm talking about gritty, dangerous, wild-eyed love. Radical acceptance of people. Belonging. A good, goofy kind of love.

Knowledge is important, but only if we're being kind and gentle with ourselves as we work to discover who we are.

We're raising children who have little tolerance for disappointment

I believe joy is a spiritual practice we have to work at.

Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how you're feeling. To have the hard conversations.

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

Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
