When we lose our tolerance for vulnerability, joy becomes foreboding.

I believe in the healing power of laughter. I believe laughter forces us to breathe.

When we spend our lives waiting until we're perfect or bulletproof before we walk into the arena, we ultimately sacrifice relationships and opportunities that may not be recoverable, we squander our precious time, and we turn our backs on our gifts, those unique contributions that only we can make.

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

What we know matters but who we are matters more.

If we don’t allow ourselves to experience joy and love, we will definitely miss out on filling our reservoir with what we need when. . . . hard things happen.

If we can’t stand up to the never good enough and who do you think you are? we can’t move forward.
