"Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength."

                              ~ Sigmund Freud      

Becoming more strong by becoming more real and vulnerable  - to me, that sounds exciting. 

So I'm suggesting we remove the masks we sometimes hide behind and commit to becoming more authentic, more honest, and more fully ourselves, with love and courage.

We'll grow, heal some things, and learn some things - perhaps a lot - especially if we share our stories. 
 
To begin, Brene Brown explains it well. 

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we're supposed to be and embracing who we actually are. Choosing authenticity means cultivating the courage to be imperfect, to set boundaries, and to be vulnerable.”

Are you in? I am.

With all my heart,
Charlene
