A few weeks ago, my sweet, sweet friend Kate Pitner shared this Brene Brown talk with me. It wasn't until last night that I finally gave myself the gift of time to listen, with my whole heart & soul, to Brene's thoughts on vulnerability.
I've been aware of Brene's work for a little while now - I posted about her here, but sometimes we're not quite ready to jump in to such deep-end-of-the-pool exploration. We may only want to dip our newly painted pretty little toes into such waters.
Lovely spirits, this is a pool you want to jump into.
Give yourself a few quiet minutes to listen to this "researcher-storyteller," warm, engaging, funny, everywoman as she talks with us about vulnerability, authenticity, connecting & joy.
I would love to engage in some dialog with you after you listen to the talk. Listen, then come back and share your comments with me . . .
To Get You Thinking
In a social media world where we are surrounded by so much beauty (I have a day long favorites list of blogs I enjoy visiting) is there value to be found in imperfection?
Curiously, when I broke down the word imperfection
I
found
we
are
perfect
when
we
are
IM-PERFECT
enjoy a blooming beautiful day friends -
Amish quilters will deliberately add a mismatched patch to each quilt to remind themselves that only God can create perfectly. A comforting thought for us to remember.
Our duty is to strive to be the best "me" we can be. And I agree with Diane....Quirky is good!

Absolutely, Terri. Perfection seeking is over-rated. And stressful. And unattainable. So why not celebrate our uniqueness. Quirky is good!
Hugs, Diane

Words to live by! Or at least we're trying, right?!?
Much aloha, Terri! :0)
