I just watched a very good TED video. I call it the Courage to be Imperfect – though I think the speaker Brene Brown had a different name for it. It is long 20 minutes  – I watched it in pieces – but it is very, very,,, good and worth watching to the end

It’s the kind of video that keeps you going when you are struggling

and makes sense when things are going well and you wonder “what’s around the corner?” How long will this last. Can I trust the future?

One thing it does prove to me is how important 12 step recovery is – its FREE therapy and gives one the courage to be imperfect by listening to everyone else’s story of imperfection. After you watch this video and if you haven’t been to a meeting in a while – (or never been) this might be the push to go!

Brene’s blog is called Ordinary Courage. I just discovered it this second while writing this post. Looks good!
