"Life is strong and fragile...It's both things." - Joan Jett
We are amazingly strong. And we are fragile. We are vulnerably fragile. And we are stronger than we realize.
We can endure so much and survive. We can revive and thrive, again and again. We can triumph in all the ways that matter.
It may seem strange, but embracing our vulnerability with compassion is a way to protect our strength and to balance the opposites in us.
With faith and hope, let's bring kindness into this day, into all days.
Always,
Charlene
THE FOURTH GIFT IS COMPASSION.
May you be gentle with yourself and others.
May you forgive those who hurt you
and yourself when you make mistakes.
