Dare to be the adults we want our children to be.

There is no such thing as creative and non-creative people, only people who use their creativity and people who don't.

I don't just want someone who says they love me; I want someone who practices that love for me every day.

Shame hates it when we reach out and tell our story. It hates having words wrapped around it - it can't survive being shared. Shame loves secrecy... When we bury our story, the shame metastasizes.

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.

Are you the adult that you want your child to grow up to be?

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.
