TEDxHouston, Speaker: Brené Brown
Dr. Brené Brown is a researcher professor at the University of Houston, Graduate College of Social Work, where she has spent the past ten years studying a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness, posing the questions: How do we engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to embrace our imperfections and to recognize that we are enough -- that we are worthy of love, belonging and joy?
Please take 20 minutes to watch this video. I imagine each of us will recognize ourselves in here somewhere and learn something valuable.
( thanks to Liz Small for posting)

Rally For Sanity and/or Fear - 10.30.2010 - Photostream. #rally4sanity
via flickr.com
I hope you enjoy these photos, which start with an INSANE metro ride and end with me spotting a celebrity leaving the rally ( yes, I found Waldo amongst the hundred of thousands of bodies ). I tried to focus my lens primarily on the signs and the faces of my fellow rally goers, but there are a few of the larger crowd and the rally stage (via jumbotron).
Musical Highpoint: Cat Stevens aka Yusuf Islam, singing/dueling with Ozzy Osbourne....although honestly I was disappointed not to get to enjoy Peace Train uninterrupted.
Overall Highpoint: Stewart's final speech, see prior blogpost. Really quite moving.
Lowpoint: none: great crowd, great weather, great city. We are so lucky to have the National Mall and Freedom to Speak.
Finally, thanks to Fran and Jenna: I enjoyed your company and sharing this experience with you both.
