Take the Shame.
TED
Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work. She has spent the past ten years studying vulnerability, courage, authenticity, and shame. She spent the first five years of her decade-long study focusing on shame and empathy, and is now using that work to explore a concept that she calls Wholeheartedness. She poses the questions:
How do we learn to embrace our vulnerabilities and imperfections so that we can engage in our lives from a place of authenticity and worthiness? How do we cultivate the courage, compassion, and connection that we need to recognize that we are enough – that we are worthy of love, belonging, and joy?
"Shame is an unspoken epidemic, the secret behind many forms of broken behavior. Brené Brown, whose earlier talk on vulnerability became a viral hit, explores what can happen when people confront their shame head-on. Her own humor, humanity and vulnerability shine through every word."

The Power of Vulnerability
"Brené Brown studies human connection -- our ability to empathize,
belong, love. In a poignant, funny talk at TEDxHouston, she shares a
deep insight from her research, one that sent her on a personal quest to
know herself as well as to understand humanity. A talk to share."

Between The Lines
I was at an exhibition of work by the Limerick School of Art and Design Degree year Visual Communications students in South Studios Dublin on thursday. It was a one night only show to run adjascent to and was part of the the launch of Offset Weekend. The show was entitled Between The Lines
"Between the Lines is an interpretation of truth, exploring thirty-six
diverse ‘truths’, from old wives tales and statistics, to psychic
numbing and conspiracy theories. The title of the exhibition is a
reference to both the concept behind the exhibition and the point of
transition between student designer and practicing professional."
The Exhibition was a very successfull showcase of some excellent work by the fourth years in a really nice space. Congratulations and kudos to them all on their hard work.
