Anne Rae Coaching

Spring is on its way .

Remember we don’t need to be perfect. We are enough.

Every holiday season, as I think about my own life and reflect upon what my family and what many of the people around me are going through right now, I’m reminded that struggle doesn’t take off for the holidays. As a lover of Christmastime, my mantra has become “the magic is in the mess” and I always like to post a little love note to myself and our communities.

We need to be kind with ourselves and remember that the gremlins don’t go on vacation. Checks bounce, chemotherapy appointments are scheduled, interventions are planned, relationships keep unravelling, being alone feels even lonelier, parents negotiate who will have the kids on Christmas morning, and the “never enoughs” are in full swing.

As I prepare to spend the next few days with my family and friends, my goal is to practice love and gratitude with the special group of folks who keep showing up and loving me, not despite my vulnerabilities and imperfections, but because of them.
I'm grateful for our community. For your generosity and the respectful way that we move forward together!

Blessings, Brené

I have just started reading Brene Brown's latest book, 'Dare to Lead' - highly recommended so far!

The last line from Dare to Lead. Definitely time for some serious spelunking.
