“When we choose to become vulnerable, something inside longs to be courageous, to tell the truth, and to speak the hard-won wisdom. It’s the soul that begs us to tell a better story, one more in line with the truth of our being. We are no longer bound by what the past says about us and our best efforts to keep it hidden. We aren’t trapped by the shameful lies that work so hard to hold us back from the best life has to offer. We are so much more than the residue of a terrible moment.

In the richness of our relationships, we discover a full life. Connection happens on the sacred journey toward wholeness. It shows up bit by bit as we build deeper trust with people we cherish. Regularly practicing vulnerability with your inner circle is vital. Maybe it’s a weekly brunch with your best friend, confession with your priest, or a video chat with your sister who lives out of state. It doesn’t matter how it looks: getting nekkid keeps us open and helps our hearts stay soft and warm. The coldness of everyday life and the demands of work and family can harden us quickly; regular doses of genuine connection is the perfect medicine for weary souls.”
