I received napkins with this cartoon on them from a lovely woman I met last year at the Massachusetts Conference for Women. The New Yorker cartoon cracked me up so I did a search to see if there were any other funny takes on vulnerability. This one made me laugh too!
Laughter is such an important part of soulwork. It forces us to breathe.
