“Vulnerability is the birthplace of self-discovery and personal transformation” – Brené Brown Being vulnerable is not easy, especially when you’re in a leadership role. Especially when you’ve been silenced for years. And especially when you were raised to chin up and be brave. These moments of vulnerability defy all that. It can feel wrong andContinue reading “Vulnerability”

My Favorite Moments
“There’s a kind of Ah-ha! Somebody at least for a moment feels about something or sees something the way that I do. It doesn’t happen all the time. It’s these brief flashes or flames, but I get that sometimes. I feel unalone—intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. I feel human and unalone and that I’m in a deep,Continue reading “My Favorite Moments”
They Will Let You Do Everything, Don’t
“You can do anything, but not everything” — David Allen Find your place or places in this world. The hint here is that no one is going to stop you from doing everything. You have to stay in your lane and allow space for other people’s callings. It doesn’t matter what it is. Fighting forContinue reading “They Will Let You Do Everything, Don’t”
Obstacles
“To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles” — T.F. Hodge. I think this is a good quote. I especially agree when your outcome is in alignment and it’s big enough to keep you going. However, I say that as a goal-oriented person. I like a clear goal. SometimesContinue reading “Obstacles”

A Better Direction
“Choose your battles wisely. After all, life isn’t measured by how many times you stood up to fight. It’s not winning battles that makes you happy, but it’s how many times you turned away and chose to look into a better direction. Life is too short to spend it on warring. Fight only the most,Continue reading “A Better Direction”
Powerful Beyond Measure
We are becoming more stable more aware and more in touch with ourselves as women, and I’m loving every moment of it! You sometimes it feels like the world will really do all it can to make women think they have less power than we really do. Empowering women to step into their power isContinue reading “Powerful Beyond Measure”
So Absolutely Free
“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.” -Albert Camus I’m interested in Mr. Camus. I don’t know his works yet, which is strange because he is often grouped with existential writers. And I tend to appreciate existential ideas.Continue reading “So Absolutely Free”
Write Your Story
“If you want to change the world, write your story. If you want to heal the world, share it.” – Unknown And that’s exactly what I do. Life can make you feel helpless. It can make you feel like browbeating is your only option. But the truth is the arts are always and will alwaysContinue reading “Write Your Story”
Where Art Grows
I like your art. I might not have seen it, but there’s a real good chance that I like it. I’d rather see it than anything else. Too much art dies with the people who were too scared to share. It could be the one thing that finally inspires a great mind to change theContinue reading “Where Art Grows”
