ONLINE EVENT: The Gifts of Imperfection Book/Study Group

7/19/22 UPDATE: We took a little break for a few months to enjoy the summer weather and now we're back! This is a good time for any newcomers to join! It's a great book, paired with a gentle and understanding group of people who are eager to learn and grow. All are welcome to join!

Since it's been a while since we've picked up the book, I thought we'd back-track just a little for this next meeting and start with Guidepost #3 Cultivating a Resilient Spirit: Letting Go of Numbing and Powerlessness, which is page 63 in my older version of the book published in 2010. (Although we are listening to the newer version on audiobook from 2020, the content and chapters are essentially the same, they may just not have the exact same page numbers. Feel free to purchase either version).

About this Book/Study Group:
We'll be getting together weekly on Tuesdays from 6:30 - 8:00pm CDT via Zoom to listen to this audiobook together. Please note that a different Zoom link will be used every week and will be available once you RSVP. The cost is $3/meeting. Why do I charge a fee to attend these meetings? I am trying to recuperate some of the expenses I have as a meeting administrator. I pay about $350 annually for MeetUp and Zoom (that doesn't include the cost of purchasing the audiobooks we listen to, which runs $15-$25 each).

More About the Book:
The Gifts of Imperfection written by Brené Brown. The 10th-anniversary edition of the game-changing number one New York Times best seller, featuring a new foreword.

In the book, Brené writes: “Wholehearted living is about engaging in our lives from a place of worthiness. It means cultivating the courage, compassion, and connection to wake up in the morning and think, No matter what gets done and how much is left undone, I am enough. It’s going to bed at night thinking, Yes, I am imperfect and vulnerable and sometimes afraid, but that doesn’t change the truth that I am also brave and worthy of love and belonging.

Before embarking on any journey, including this one, it’s important to talk about what we need to bring along. What does it take to live and love from a place of worthiness? How do we embrace imperfection? How do we cultivate what we need and let go of the things that are holding us back? The answers to all of these questions are courage, compassion, and connection—the tools we need to work our way through our journey.”

Here's what Past Attendees are Saying:
"I've always had a lot going on in terms of working on personal issues, using different books and materials for guidance...but this is by far my favorite, and most effective. I think it is your enthusiasm and input, and the general format that make such a difference. And probably the people that you attract for the work. AND your talent for listening and bringing the subject back around in new, instructive ways. I also appreciate the time you devote to this group."
