You can’t dress rehearse the bad moments.

Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.

The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.

Vulnerability pushed, I pushed back. I lost the fight, but probably won my life back.

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

A good life happens when you stop and are grateful for the ordinary moments that so many of us just steamroll over to try to find those extraordinary moments.
