In reply to Chris. Thank you, Chris. I love Brene Brown and I wish more people would read her/listen to her work. I love the truth that she speaks ...

Oh Sandy, thank you sooo much for re-posting this blog about happiness stealers… Such an eye opener to things I already knew but didn’t want to admit or deal with!
BUT, even more so, I want to thank you for sharing about hearing Brene’ Brown, AND for including the link to her talk on vulnerability!! I clicked right on it and listened, with laughter and tears, as she exposed sooo much about my heart and where I am right now… My fears and insecurities, my shame and guilt, and more!!
THANK YOU Sandy… You (and Brene!) inspire me to get back to being real, honest and vulnerable, and stop pretending, perfecting, hiding and protecting who I am!!! My heart hurts, but hopes at the same time!!
Blessings to you, my friend from afar!
Chris

I enjoyed your post. Entertaining is a “giving” thing and guests appreciate it. My husband and I entertain often, usually dinner parties and I always get nervous just before everyone arrives. It’s well worth the nerves as it’s a good way to get together with friends and not let too much time pass. P.S. Came here from Bridget’s tweet about this posting.

Love Brene…and YOU, and Paul! I’m naturally an introvert, so I can roll off the excuses to NOT entertain. ;) Great tips, Sandy….so true!

Great advice – something that everyone needs to be reminded of! Not just when entertaining, but also for life in general! :)

Such great reminders Sandy. As a perfectionist by nature, I needed to hear this again. Thank you!!!

I love her! She just wrote a book I am wanting to read about imperfection. I first ran across her a couple of years ago and shared it with my women’s group at church. It’s a different link than you have, you may want to watch this one as well. It’s about vulnerability and connection….. why didn’t I think of that?! :)
