Over hot chocolate and a 2 hour walk, I conversed with a long-time friend about the last 5 years of our lives.  Sharing our joys, triumphs, pains, fears, and tears was powerful, healing, and precious.  In other words…

“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)

I heard heaven’s white noise today through vulnerability and acceptance with a friend.
