When someone is walking beside us, we have more courage to walk into the unknown and to risk the dark and messy places in our journey.

The more we can embrace failure, the more we will be able to open to it and the more confident and resilient we will become.

The more we are able to engage in enthusiastic disagreement with each other, the more we will be able to uncover the best in ourselves and each other.

When there is alignment and understanding, it is much easier to navigate forward together, moving in and out of agreement.

While the big events of our lives create the impetus for change, it is the moment-by- moment choices that mold and shape us.
