Sometimes, when I dance, I do so very badly. (Okay, most times.) Sometimes, when I sing, I do so completely off-key, and even in a wonderful falsetto voice. Sometimes, when I’m doing both of these things at the same time, there’s a camera around and it is captured and played without my permission at Life Nights.

And, you know what? I’m okay with that. Last night at the Cleto Awards was an opportunity for all of us to be vulnerable, and I’m glad that I was not left out of that. It is difficult to be vulnerable with others, to share our past, to share who we were, because it is a very large part of who we are. It is a long road, filled with many baby steps, to be truly vulnerable with other people, and often involves a lot of pain and embarrassment.

However, it is when we are able to take these steps that we enter into a deeper relationship with our brothers and sisters. When we are able to be vulnerable, to show others the sides of us that we aren’t so proud of…it is there that a deeper love and commitment are able to find a home. Through the cracks of our (however) perfect and calm, collected exteriors that love is able to flow. Through our insecurities, our embarrassments, and our imperfections that we are able to connect genuinely and deeply with other human beings.
