Grounding

Last week I had a few bad days.  I'm not sure that I was homesick; it was more of an unsettled feeling.  I felt very ungrounded.  That makes sense I guess, as I just moved.  One of the best ways to get more grounded is to get out in nature.  Yesterday was a beautiful day, and I went to the nearby Anne Springs Close Greenway.

Vulnerability and TED Talks

Have you ever had the experience where something keeps popping up in your day to day life?  For me lately it has been the name Brene' Brown.  I think I heard her mentioned at least five times in the last two months.  I finally Googled her today and found this TED talk.  It was just what I needed.  I have been having a rough week in regards to this whole move.  The talk reminded me that I am probably feeling vulnerable as everything is new to me right now.
