“The problem in this world is we’ve forgotten that we belong to each other” - Mother Teresa
I just started reading a book by Dr. Brene Brown called Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead...yeah, that’s a title. But, it’s actually a really good book so far! Quick background info: I’m totally the more closed book of the two of us. Lucian’s the extrovert and I’m the introvert - it’s a good balance. The idea of getting in front of the camera and talking about things that aren’t easy to talk about (*cough*... fertility issues) isn’t my favorite thing to do. BUT, I’ve started to ask this question: where does avoiding connection ultimately lead us? Pretty sure that answer is nowhere...especially after reading some of this book. Dr. Brown says “We’re hard-wired for connection - it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The absence of love, belonging, and connection always leads to suffering.” Blah, telling an introvert to be more connected? What’s worse (for my introverted self) is she found that vulnerability is key to living a wholehearted life - some of the happiest people are the most willing to be vulnerable. So, here’s my (our) attempt at working on this vulnerability thing. Lucian and I invite you into this adventure we’re on. We hope to share more of our stories, struggles, and revelations about beauty. Follow along if you like, and better yet - share your story with us too.
Peace,

p.s. If you’re looking for recommendations for places to take a hike (or at least a walk, or even a drive!) hit us up, we’ve been to some pretty cool places and would love to share.
