The Gifts of Imperfection

I have just finished reading Brene Brown's wonderful book entitled The Gifts of Imperfection. In her book she mentions one of the exercises she does each week on her own blog called TGIF. It is a weekly post about what she's Trusting, what she's Grateful for, what Inspires her, and how she's practising her Faith. I think this is such an awesome idea that I have decided to steal it! Since it's called TGIF I will normally post this on a Friday, but I thought I would get the ball rolling now while the idea is still fresh in my head.

So this week, I am Trusting in my ability to figure out a solution to my oversleeping issues.

I am Grateful for so much....

• my amazing counsellor
• the Addictions paper I am studying this semester
• my cat, Jaxx
• warmth (you really appreciate this when you live in Dunedin)
• my job with Meghan
• the blessing of my car

I am Inspired at the moment by :

• my fellow ISSUE magazine columnists, and their amazing writing (Check out http://issuemagazine.wordpress.com and be inspired)
• an amazing book I am reading for book club called "Room" by Emma Donoghue (such an amazing fiction read...seriously this book will stay with you for days...I can't stop thinking about it!!)

And, to be honest I'm not really doing much at the moment to practise my Faith. So something to work on for the coming week...

Have a great week everyone, and I'd be interested to hear your TGIF's. You can write them in the comments below if you like!! :)
