Gratitude on the go! 8-26-13

Today I am grateful for:

-this quote:

"Share your cherished ideas with those who will also cherish them."

-Breaking Ice. It's so great and so challenging. I updated my I Am From poem. It's okay. I'm nervous about it. I think it's because I go a little deeper with it. It's a little bit more vulnerable.
-having lunch with Megan and Jen and of course their kiddos. We ate all the food and talked all the talks and I held all the babies. It was wonderful. They are wonderful!
-Brene Brown. There was a live stream video of  her today with Oprah. I didn't get to watch the whole thing unfortunately, but I did get to hear this amazing quote that really resonated with me:

"This is my Litmus test: When I share something big or vulnerable with someone, the response I get back is not dependent on my healing." -Brene Brown
-group. I was able to process having a good week and feeling content and happy. I started by saying I'm not sure what has changed, but I think a big part of what's been different is that I've been allowing myself to play. Go out to chill parties, hang out with lots of friends, and basically connecting with people on a meaningful level.
-Roomie texting me to come hang out with her tonight for a bit.
-laughter. Particularly most conversation I have with Roomie.
-the basics
-feeling happy
-compassion of all kinds
-as always, my friends
