Indigenous Peoples Day is every day I get to live and honor and call on my loving + wise +well ancestors like my great-great-grandmother Francis "Fannie" Daniel Thomas. She was a wife, mother, hat maker, seamstress, and midwife. I am grateful for it all. I am grateful for her ancestral presence.

Are you reading any great books that inspire you?

I read and keep coming back to "What Art Does" and "A Short History of Back Craft." They remind me to keep creating and experimenting.

The other creative books are a few of my favorites that I like to look at when Spirit moves me.

Are you learning a new language? What language?
What made you study it?

I love learning Brazilian Portuguese because of my deep connection to Afro Brazilian spirituality, people, art, and culture. I've been taking in-person and virtual classes since April. Traveling to Salvador inspired me.

#Journaling has and continues to be one of my favorite and cost-effective ways to practice self-care and be #vulnerable with myself.

Do you journal?

How does journaling support you?

Life, relationships, and careers give plenty of opportunities to experience "The Big V"-- #VULNERABILITY.

"The BIG V" gives choices.

Choice #1: Acknowledge, embrace, explore, learn lessons, heal, grow & move forward

Choice #2: Avoid, resist, run from, get stuck, struggle & suffer

Check out this week's Vulnerability Food for Thought.

What’s causing you to experience #VULNERABILITY in your life, relationships, or career?

How are you responding to your VULNERABILITY?

Do you hide from #VULNERABILITY?

CONFESSION TIME: I DO!!!!

I hide from vulnerability when I experience two thoughts.

1) I know it all.

2) I have control over everything in my life.

Does that sound familiar?

What's making you feel #VULNERABLE?

How are you handling it?

Are you gettung help?

I am feeling vulnerable in my 60 year old body. I'm concerned about my mobility, flexibility & strength.

I am getting HELP from a physical therapist on how to strengthen & take care of my body as I #age.

Being #vulnerable with yourself ain't easy.

If you're like me, you may want to avoid, resist, or run from it.

Over the years, I have learned to ask for help in facing #VULNERABILITY.

Need help?
