Throwing it out to the Universe...

Although I am broken, I am still breathing

Nevertheless, I know now truth is survival, and that we cannot survive in this world without vulnerability and love.

The secret is out. Women. Get. Older. Our hair changes color. Wrinkles happen. And we get more effective, more powerful, more ourselves.

“It’s all right if I don’t feel amazing around everyone sometimes. I know that I have my people now, and that’s really exciting.

“In saving my life, you seemed to confer a value on it I did not know how to spend.”

With experience, you learned what you needed in order to do your best work, and you learned to claim it.

Just as a child can learn to be resilient, so can a family, a neigh­borhood, a community, a city. And so can a country. A country can endure trauma and neglect and become a place where people are cared for, where democracy and equality and opportunity are once again encouraged and advanced.
