“Manang..can we hang out more?”
“You’re always the cool manang.”
“You taught me how to pray like this, with hands open to whatever falls into them and to whatever things let go.”
After seven years of being at the forefronts of each other’s hearts and teaching my best lessons to younger (and older) folk (..and myself as well), the next (what I like to call) Degrassi era begins. Though I have many more stories and pictures to share, this is the mental snapshot for me to remember it all. And although there is much to say (but never entirely to them 😏), this quote by Steve Austin sums it up…
The power of vulnerability, courage, and grace has made my life better. But that hasn’t happened in a vacuum. Transformation has come from connecting with other people through our brokenness, not in spite of it. Being willing to own my story and giving other people permission to own theirs is saving my life every day.
