I have some advice for you, courtesy of author Anne Lamott: “You weren’t born a person of cringe and contraction. You were born as energy, as life, made of the same stuff as stars, blossoms, and breezes. You learned contraction to survive, but that was then.” Surrender to the sweetness.
— Jan Darwin Hutchins
