Nothing is wrong - whatever is happening is just "real life."

When we open to love, we become love.

I sometimes call this our "spacesuit self" because we come into an environment that is difficult and challenging, where we're told to be different. We're told to jump over hoops to be loved and appreciated, so we have to develop spacesuit strategies to get approval and create ways to avoid being judged.

On this sacred path of Radical Acceptance, rather than striving for perfection, we discover how to love ourselves into wholeness.

Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.

Along with judging myself harshly, I'd also always seen the truth of goodness in me.

Just remember that everyone is struggling; everyone is living with fear and uncertainty and it doesn't matter what their politics are.
