I saw THE BEST interview on Oprah with one of my most favorite artists this week! I really should have seen it a week ago. But this was my tweet today…
Whole-hearted living CANNOT exist in the space of SHAME… oprah.com/own-super-soul…

I really haven’t read Brene’ Brown’s book called Daring Greatly. But it’s my next buy… One must know how shame holds you back from YOUR DREAMS. I really have found that my best self lies in the fact I don’t allow my shame to make decisions for me. Of course, I have shame. I have dealt with some things in life I am not very happy about, but I overcame them because I placed the shame someplace else in stead of choosing to carry its weight. However, I find myself when I reach for my fullest potential. So it’s all good, if you want to get beyond imperfections, shame and to finally get to COURAGE, then you must take time to work on yourself, and change some of those “thought distortions” that get in the way.
Here in this video on Oprah, ( I hope she never this post down…Brene’ says Stuart Brown defines PLAY as :” Time spent without purpose.”
Imagine that! Where we find We often feel so guilty, we forget to have fun and not be on task. We live in such a task-oriented society, we miss the point of nurturing ourselves and taking time for PLAY.
I love that she says “Cool is the emotional straight jacket.”
Wow, that means you can kill yourself trying to be COOL.. imagine that, and I used to love the COOL guys… (Crazy!)
