Gratitude on the go! 11-14-12

Today I am grateful for:

-Ruthie helping me move a chair into my apartment. It was a bit of an adventure. I really appreciated her sacrifice with her time. I know she's insanely busy. Busy with good problems, but busy none the less.

-Seeng Brené Brown speak. I've been wanting to gush about it all day. She was incredible. Words simply cannot express how great she was. She talked for an hour and then did about 40 minutes of Q and A. Her talk  consisted of mostly telling stories. Her stories were so impactful. I really resonated with so much of what she said. And she's funny! She really is a master at what she does. I started taking notes at the beginning, but I stopped right away. I just wanted to be in the moment and listen to what she said. Man. I felt so grateful to have been able to go see her. Her Q and A was great too. And I was able to get second row seats! I don't know how I lucked out on that one. I got there pretty late and the place was mostly packed. Then there was a side section of seating and two whole rows no one was really sitting in. I was like, no way! I can't be this lucky. But I was. I was just smiling the whole time. Just grinning like an idiot. At the end I thought I'd try to go up and see if I could talk to her (not that I had anything to say to her other than OH HAI THANKS FOR CHANGING MY LIFE I LIKE YOUR GLASSES) or if she was signing books. She had a plane to catch so she left pretty quickly. Which I think is for the best. So yeah. That's my free gush about seeing Brené Brown. 

I wasn't allowed to take pictures once the lecture started,
but this is the event I was at to hear Brene Brown speak. 

-Another great preview for the holiday show. 

-feeling confident. I got a new pair of gap jeans (which makes my butt look amazing btw) and wore my new boyfriend sweater and plain dark grey tshirt. And my cowboy boots. I got a lot of complements, which I decided to take fully.

-feeling happy.

-being present.

-having a really fun set with the Minneapples tonight. 

Getting ready to go onstage. 

-daring greatly. 

-loving deeply

-as always, my friends
