Vulnerability!

If you don't already know, I LOVE Brene Brown. She is a shame researcher who has incredible insight that I think every woman should be familiar with. Here is some midweek brilliance for you. 

 "To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody but yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight- and never stop fighting.” 

- e.e. cummings

Have the courage to be imperfect. Have the compassion to be kind to yourself and others. Be willing to believe that what makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.  

You are enough.
You are worthy.
You are loved. 

Advice from me and Elder Busche

Sometimes when the negative voices in my world get too loud, I find it very helpful to seek perspective. It is so easy to get lost in the notions that we aren't enough, that we don't deserve to be loved, that we aren't worthy of love, or that we aren't as good as those around us. I don't know why, but sometimes it is so easy for us to forget who we are. 

This video, to me, is a lovely reminder of the Lord's love for us. It helps me shift my perspective and gain a greater understanding of what I can do to feel at peace with myself, the Lord, and those around me. 

I recommend that you find a quiet place to listen to this, remove any distractions and just take some time to be still. You won't regret it.
