ordinary courage

I was introduced to Brene Brown by my father who suggested I watch her TED talk on The Power of Vulnerability. Her talk moved me. Her poignancy moved me. Her willingness to be authentic and real moved me. She inspired me to think about authenticity and what it means to be vulnerable in a world that expects perfection and breeds fear. Needless to say, I love her blog entitled Ordinary Courage. She uses the blog as a space to talk about her family, her career, her powerful work on shame and vulnerability and her daily life. I find her work completely fascinating and her blog is a good reminder to choose to be my wholehearted, authentic self.
