Embracing your vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love, belonging and joy.

“Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running 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.” ~  Brené Brown
“We are sick and tired of being sick and tired.. Definition of courage: Tell your story with all your heart.”
“You either walk inside your story and own it or you stand outside your story & hustle for your worthiness.”
“Men walk this tightrope where any sign of weakness elicits shame, and so they’re afraid to make themselves vulnerable for fear of looking weak.”
“Vulnerability is not weakness. And that myth is profoundly dangerous.”
“Vulnerability is about showing up and being seen. It’s tough to do that when we’re terrified about what people might see or think.”
“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.”
“Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”
“Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It’s the magic sauce.”
“Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.”
“The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we’ll fail, and sometimes we’ll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage and that you’ll find support.” ~  Brené Brown

A Brief History of Skittles - Taste the rainbow

#Candy #Skittles #TastetheRainbow The candy that we are so familiar with today first came into existence in 1974. Skittles spent the first five years of their lives solely in Britain since it wasn’t until 1979 that North America got a chance to taste  the  rainbow. There is much speculation surrounding the creator of Skittles, as nobody really knows exactly who first made them. One story suggests that a British man named Mr. Skittles looked at a rainbow one day and wondered how it would taste. Other sources state that the Wrigley Company, founded in 1891, created candy and other confectionery, including Extra chewing gum. However, although Wrigley produces Skittles today, it is widely accepted that an unknown British company was the original manufacturer. After three years of being imported to North America from the UK, Skittles started being manufactured in the US and Britain. There were very few flavors compared to the varieties available today. Consumers enjoyed gra...

Celebrate Christmas with the Top 15 greatest films

  #ItsaWonderfulLife #Elf  #AChristmasStory #xmas A great Christmas movie will not only make the grade for the test of time, but it can become a beloved part of a person’s life. Ask 15 people which is their favorite holiday film, and you may get 15 different titles. Our photo gallery focuses on the 15 titles we believe are the best of all time. Scroll through the gallery, read our descriptions, and debate with us the order, ranked best to worst, and which ones you think are missing. Our list is led off by the Frank Capra classic “It’s a Wonderful Life” starring James Stewart, a film that was deemed a box office bomb when it was first released. It was the relentless airings on television over the past few decades that made it a favorite for many families. Stewart is also featured in the lesser-known but still wonderful “The Shop Around the Corner.” While that movie is uplifting, other funnier flicks that made our cut are “A Christmas Story,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas...
