THOUGHT
“Vulnerability is not winning or losing; it's having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage. And to foreclose on our emotional life out of a fear of hurt is to lose that which makes us most human.”
THE GOOD WORD
📖 Canty (adjective) — KAN-tee
❤️ Cheerful, lively, and in good spirits.
💡 Why it's good: A canty tune drifting from a front porch can put a spring in your whole walk.
