Embracing our Vulnerabilities 06/26/2016 'Owning our story can be hard - but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky - but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy - the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.' Brené Brown
