I first came across Brene Brown when I heard her TedTalk quite awhile back and immediately connected with her and have loved her ever since. Another person I greatly admire and connect with is Oprah - I mean who doesn't right? She is strong, self assured, honest and real.

Really I think everyone does even if they always look happy, joyful, beautiful - have the perfect kids, husband, home, studio - etc. There are days that I struggle with anxiety - I am not good enough, not perfect enough, strong enough, creative enough - blah blah blah and there are days when I am sad - filled with worry, regret, and fear. So when this ecourse was presented on the The Gifts of Imperfection I knew it had my name all over it.
