I have written often about my love of Brené Brown’s work. She is a brilliant shame researcher and author who not only helped change my self-attitude and the way I look at shameful situations with her book, but continues to give me things to think about through her blog. Today’s post moved me more than I can say. She began her blog post today with this quote from her book:
Brené Brown, while an absolutely brilliant woman, is also an honest and real woman. Her life isn’t perfect; she isn’t perfect, but she admits it and [ ... ]

And why do I even care if others think it’s okay or not?
Lots of thoughts running around in here today.

I’m a big Alanis Morissette fan. I remember that when she first came out, she drove me nuts. I couldn’t stand to listen to her for more than a few moments without wanting to rip my eyes out with whatever may have been handy just to distract myself.

If you’ve read many of my previous posts, then you may have sensed an underlying theme of “fear of embarrassment.” This underlying theme has plagued me throughout my life. I try to avoid embarrassment at all costs, but tend to fail miserably. I am also the kind of person that can remember even slightly embarrassing events that happened many years ago, as if they happened a split second ago.
