We cannot give our children what we don’t have.

hat whole phrase, "daring greatly," is from the Theodore Roosevelt quote that goes back to your original question of, what about the critics? And when I read his quote it was life-changing. "It's not the critic who counts; it's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done the better.

Unused creativity is not benign.

It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

I only share when I have no unmet needs that I'm trying to fill. I firmly believe that being vulnerable with a larger audience is only a good idea if the healing is tied to the sharing, not to the expectations I might have for the response I get.

I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.

The only unique contribution that we will ever make in this world will be born of our creativity.
