"It is our wounds that enable us
to be compassionate
with the wounds of others.
It is our limitations that make us kind
to the limitations of other people.
It is our loneliness that helps us
to find other people
or to even know they're alone with an illness.
I think I have served people perfectly
with parts of myself I used to be ashamed of."
- Rachel Naomi Remen
Appreciating the power of honesty,
the strength in vulnerability,
and the wisdom of acceptance,
may we embrace ourselves fully
so that we may be ourselves, fully,
for our own good and the good of others.
With love and compassion,
Charlene
