January seems to be the perfect time to try on some truth.  Buckle up and lean in because this work is not for the faint of heart.  In a world that is now socially “perfect” and celebrates a life like Marie Kondo’s organized perfection, it’s easier to avoid, overwork, indulge, spend, game, binge, neglect, OCD clean, micromanage everything else but you.  This side stepping can be easier than the necessary self-work of humaning.   Loving and embracing the average, dark and real is WORK. The un-insta worthy veil needs to be lifted now and again for a little peek.  Create brave and safe space for you to explore your perfect imperfection.  Promise… this time to invest in yourself, question, embrace those nagging truth-aches will be invaluable.  Sit with and allow discomfort, shame, vulnerability and evoke all the feels. Don’t leave this planet only using a few of the emotions… explore them all!!   Only the Brave attempt to do the necessary work of a human being.  TAKE A BREAK FROM  human doing.   We think Brene says its best…

Once you’ve danced to your song a time or two, you give permission to the world to do the same.  If you are curious and hungry for more… Brene has a host of gorgeous resources, and her podcasts are just brilliant.  She is a Brave Leader that promotes truth, rumbles with shame and harnesses a bright light for humans to invite courage thru the walls of vulnerability.  Take Good Self-Care Friends~
