Be Who You Are And…

I came across this quote in my friend Katie Arnold’s book, Running Home. I’ve known, heard and even claimed that I’m comfortable in my own skin. I like being me. The bit about “go the whole way” I’ve not done that.

If we embraced all of ourselves, all of our glory and our not-yet-ness, that would change everything.

How might you, might I, go even further today? Go the whole way.


“Be who you are and go the whole way.”

-Lau Tzu

Me at age six or seven in Norwalk, CA on the front porch of my grandparents, Melba and Mike Tarver.
