Everything that these folks are saying that they're trying to move away from, like comparison, perfectionism, judgement, and exhaustion as a status symbol - that all describes my life. It was more like a medical researcher studying a disease and figuring out he or she has it.

Wholehearted living is not like trying to reach a destination. It's like walking toward a star in the sky. We never really 'arrive,' but we certainly know that we're heading in the right direction.

Who we are and how we engage with the world are much stronger predictors of how our children will do than what we know about parenting.

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

I think laughter between people is a holy form of connection, of communion. It's the way you and I look at each other and without words, say, I get exactly what you're saying. And so, it's important to me.

Ads sell a great deal more than products. They sell values, images, and concepts of success and worth.

Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we are.
