"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

It takes courage to be fully, honestly, vulnerably, and beautifully ourselves. Always remember that you have it. Strength too.

With reverence,
Charlene
