“You can't get to courage without walking through vulnerability. Period."
~ Brene Brown
Because there is such
great power in vulnerability, I think we first walk through strength as we make our way through vulnerability to courage.
You and I have walked through strength time and time again. We carry its dust on our feet. Strength's air is in our lungs. Our hearts have been fortified with it.
Let's start this day standing in strength, willing and ready to be vulnerable, knowing that we have what it takes to be courageously real.
Truly,
Charlene
PS - Today's quote relates to a project in the works for children. The Twelve Gifts Of Birth Foundation is creating
The Twelve Gifts Discover Quest: A Map to the Treasure in You. The trail begins at Strength Mountain then passes through Beauty Cavern on the way to Courage Crossing, which is a rickety bridge over rapids racing through a canyon. We certainly are vulnerable in situations that call for courage. Our beauty sparkles and shines in such times too.

STRENGTH: May you remember to
call upon it whenever you need it.
