Be Kind to Your Body

“Gradually, for one reason or another, your body is gonna stop working the way it once did. And as your skin wrinkles and sags, you'll be forced to reckon with what lies underneath it all. And the wisdom you've gained from that inevitable reckoning will always trump the naïve glory of your physicality.” ―Jessamyn Stanley,Yoke: My Yoga of Self-Acceptance

Connect to Others

“When someone shares their hopes and dreams with us, we are witnessing deep courage and vulnerability. Celebrating their successes is easy, but when disappointment happens, it’s an incredible opportunity for meaningful connection.” ―Brené Brown, Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience
