Profound Wisdom

April 9, 2013

As it struck a chord with me, I thought this would be an interesting quote to pass on from Brene Brown’s book, The Gifts of Imperfection:

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running away from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy – the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.”

I thought this was a very powerful and insightful summary that rang oh so true.

The rain came to meet me today so it wasn’t the most pleasant and the generator had to be run to recharge the solar (for only the second time since inception). Unfortunately, I noticed the generator was running a little funny and when I had a look I realized it was on fire! Somewhere in the process I must have put the cover in backwards and the exhaust couldn’t escape and kit the box on fire. A little scary as it is beside the propane tanks and gas cans… Note to self…
