Think about what’s pleasurable, not just what’s possible.

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

Imperfections are not inadequacies; they are reminders that we're all in this together.

Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

Vulnerability is based on mutuality and requires boundaries and trust. It's not oversharing, it's not purging, it's not indiscriminate disclosure, and it's not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them.

There really is "no effort without error and shortcoming" and there really is no triumph without vulnerability.

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.
