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

Cruelty is easy, cheap and rampant.

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

Loving and accepting ourselves are the ultimate acts of courage.

You are imperfect, you are wired for struggle, but you are worthy of love and belonging.

Rather than sitting on the sidelines & hurling judgment & advice, we must dare to show up & let ourselves be seen. This is vulnerability. This is daring greatly.

Social media has given us this idea that we should all have a posse of friends when in reality, if we have one or two really good friends, we are lucky.
