Feeling gratitude isn't born in us - it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.

Real intimacy is only possible to the degree that we can be honest about what we are doing and feeling.

Let our children be taught love love love.

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

The world at large does not judge us by who we are and what we know; it judges us by what we have.
