What helps me with vulnerability? I think for me, it's just a reminder that my strength lies in vulnerability. And an invitation to be vulnerable. Thank you, Monica, for this reminder and invitation.❤️

Oh I really love that. Your strength is in the vulnerability. What a profound and freeing truth.

I’m learning to embrace asking for help rather than doing it myself and/or always being the strong helper, especially with my husband.

I’m also risking rejection by letting some of my true feelings be seen. This one is with our DIL, who lives with us and is untrusting much of the time. I’m not dimming my joy or pretending everything is ok if it’s not.

Joan, this is such brave and freeing work. I too find myself much more comfortable being the "strong" one or dimming my joy. I am so inspired by your freedom and courage to take up space.
