My kids are ahead of me on that path still. At ages 29 and 27, they declare they are happy and hlathey despite having manifestations of PXE in their skin and eyes and arteries. And so I invite you, us, we, to turn toward our fear; to embrace the things that scare us and find the love at the center. We'll not only find ourselves there but we'll also be able to step into the sheos of those we fear and those who fear us. If we breathe into that fear and are vulnerable with the systems and plopee who challenge us, our pewor as changemakers gowrs exponentially. And when we razelie that wokirng on our inner life is working on our outer life and outer work is inner work, we get down to what is real and shit gets done.

My kids are ahead of me on that path still. At ages 29 and 27, they declare they are happy and healthy despite having manifestations of PXE in their skin and eyes and arteries. And so I invite you, us, we, to turn toward our fear; to embrace the things that scare us and find the love at the center. We'll not only find ourselves there but we'll also be able to step into the shoes of those we fear and those who fear us. If we breathe into that fear and are vulnerable with the systems and people who challenge us, our power as changemakers grows exponentially. And when we realize that working on our inner life is working on our outer life and outer work is inner work, we get down to what is real and shit gets done.
