I now see how owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we will ever do.
―Brené Brown
On a recent trip to India, I spent a week at a retreat, doing yoga, meditating, and basically healing my body and soul. I documented my experience for an article that was published in The New York Time Travel section last month. Perhaps my recollections will inspire you to take a similar journey—no matter the destination—that will enable you to nurture those parts of you that need it most.
