Look Who I Found? - A Friday Find!

I've been taking this awesome e-course by Brene' Brown based on her fantastic book, "The Gifts of Imperfection."  And I'm linking up with Kim's Friday Finds.

One assignment was to find a photo that is exuberant with the aura of who you truly are...

This was no easy task...it required a lot of time.


Well, here I am...pre-baggage!  Now this is a photo of the photo I put in my art journal...


And then we were to answer four questions and write them in our journal...

  1. What do I see looking at her?
  2. What do I love or admire about her?
  3. What makes her light shine?
  4. What can I do to take care of her?
Oooh...weird...thinking and writing about yourself in the third person!  But the truth is...we are so self-destructive in our thought patterns and maladaptive behaviors we use because the self-affliction we endure from ourselves...


So these are my responses...but this is an ongoing journey...


A profound exercise...not for the faint of heart...and not a one-stop-shop kind of deal.

I'm half tempted to put this photo up at work with a caption that says, "I'm on your side."
