Practice Vulnerability
|
Hi Reader! I'm in the midst of writing my next book, and in this process, I've been sitting with what it means to be vulnerable, not solely as an idea, but I desire to be vulnerable as a practice. I want to share a moment of reflection with you: Vulnerability is a request to be treated like I’m precious. It helps me ask for what I need. When I ask for what I need, I am able to move forward into and expand softness. I am able to trust myself in life's tension and the goodness that life brings me.
My vulnerability practice is to tell the truth to myself and to share truth with those I am in a relationship with.
Yes, vulnerability opens us up to both hurt and healing. But… That’s what the heart is for… to open us up to possibilities.

Invite a friend to join my newsletter Hi Reader, I have learned that vulnerability in relationships is an invitation to co-create softness within that relationship because I co-create the possibility of removing harm so that we can have more space to become familiar with myself and trust myself. The definition of vulnerability: the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally. Vulnerability opens the possibility of being...
