 It seems like the catch-phrase that I keep hearing these days.  Spiritually it sounds wonderful.  When we are vulnerable our hearts are open, God can come in and embrace us fully.  Vulnerability means we have no walls up and we are touched by all things great and small.  Vulnerability creates connection and an opportunity to stretch ourselves beyond what we think we are capable of because we are leading with our hearts.  My ego however, fights being vulnerable.  It only sees the down side-exposure, possibility of getting hurt, looking like a fool, making a mistake, being passed over, etc.  So when my head begins to debate with my heart I experience a lack of peace.  Vulnerability and willingness to risk being vulnerable are gifts from God.  Left to my own devices I would not opt for this experience.  My ego tells me that vulnerability is what got me into trouble so long ago, trusting is what enabled me to get hurt.  However, if I remember that my greatest weakness is my greatest strength then I can look to those times of vulnerability to show me the possibility of the power of God.  Clearly, whatever I may have experienced in the past did not kill me and in fact it has made me stronger-just like I keep hearing on the radio these days.  Now I can take those experiences and use them to be of service which is exactly what I intend to do. Today is a day in which we celebrate love.  Love is vulnerability.  To truly love another, ourselves, God, even our experience requires us to put ourselves out there, to take a chance.  Take a chance that God is all who God says he/she/it is.  Am I willing to take that chance, just for today?  My prayer for you today is that you be willing even for a moment to be vulnerable and give God a chance to enter your heart and speak the language of love.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
