The universe is not short on wake-up calls. We’re just quick to hit the snooze button.

It's hard to practice compassion when we're struggling with our authenticity or when our own worthiness is off-balance.

Nothing is as uncomfortable, dangerous and hurtful as believing that I'm standing on the outside of my life looking in and wondering what it would be like if I had the courage to show up and let myself be seen.
