Turning

When the shapes emerged on this piece, I imagined that the leaves would all be green. But as I pulled out my watercolors and started painting, the leaves wanted to be turning.
I suppose that’s as good a metaphor for life as any. We are always in a state of flux, after all.
Are you doing #6 & #7 here? If not, it’s time to start worrying (or time to join me on Tuesday!)
I’ve been spending a lot of time with Brené Brown lately.
(No, not in person; on my computer, thanks to a Udemy course.)
If you’re not familiar with Brené Brown, she’s the best-selling author of Daring Greatly, and an incredibly engaging speaker, with a couple of wildly viral TED videos.
Before she wrote her first book or spoke on the TED stage, however, she started out as a qualitative researcher, which means she interviews thousands of people, then analyzes her data to find patterns.
Over several years of research and a grillion interviews, Brown noticed that some people seemed to have a better capacity to engage more fully in life, to live with authenticity and embrace their imperfections.
In other words, instead of living in black and white, they were living full-color lives.
