We are all only human, and all we can ever do is our best. Some days our best is getting out of bed and some days it's running a marathon..

Everything that you encounter does in fact serve you, even if it’s not ideal. It’s helping you to grow, it’s teaching you to persevere.

To me, connection -- specifically to myself -- means feeling present and comfortable in my body and my mind. ..
