The Art (and Ecstasy) of Receiving
I want you to close your eyes and think for a few moments about the last time you received with grace and ease. Was this receiving accompanied with a feeling of deservingness? Did you acknowledge yourself fully, unabashedly, unapologetically in that moment? Were you able to look into the eyes of the giver and thank them?

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?
Ever cowered behind your fears only to find that they were completely unfounded? I have. Over and over again.
