Fast forward to last week when I was sitting in between continuous 10-foot sets at Witches Rock during my son’s and my first surf trip. We’d taken an hour-long boat ride to get to waves that were 8-10 feet and breaking with a powerful intensity that I hadn’t experienced before. I was nervous, so I sat and watched my son take the biggest waves I’d ever been in with courage and a skill that made me proud, concerned, and thankful I was with him. He caught wave after wave, waves that can kill you if you don’t know what you’re doing, and waves that on that day I just didn’t have the courage to charge into.

After a string of life setbacks, here’s how I learned to rethink happiness
As we look forward into 2021, we must remind ourselves that showing love does not cancel out others; it embraces imperfection, mistakes, and messy truths. If we’re truly expressing love, we invite perspective, differences, and debate. We show up and lean in, particularly when we want to run or hide.
