TODAY'S TOUCHSTONE


"Vulnerability is the birthplace of connection and the path to the feeling of worthiness. If it doesn't feel vulnerable, the sharing is probably not constructive." 

                      - Brene Brown

It takes courage to be vulnerable and fortunately we all have it built in to us. 

Of course, we have to use wisdom as well as courage regarding how much to share in any and every situation.

But even if what we communicate is appropriately on a surface level, we can still share it in a way that keeps us honest and authentic. 

With courage, let's remove any masks we are wearing today and bravely show the world the magnificent real person that we are. 

Truly,
​​​​​​​Charlene

PS - I love hearing from you. You have so much to contribute. I appreciate your insights, your examples, your vulnerability, creativity and so much more. In fact, I'd like, at times, to quote and share what you have to say, in part because what you have to offer is valuable. Also, I'd like to build a sense of community among us. Today, I'd like to share the beautiful way that Elaine restated yesterday's Swedish proverb. After reading it, her own inner voice presented this to her:


Sadness shared lightens our days, joy shared brightens our way.

Lovely, Elaine. Thank you.
