I have likely already posted this here, but it is worth an additional nod IMHO. I have been picking thru this book as it requires sitting with.

The Body is Not an Apology: The Power of Radical Self Love by Sonya Renee Taylor.

Her list of Unapologetic Agreements is worth the price alone. Her work is housed in a book with a cover that is powerful and stunning.

Strong vibes for anyone interested in healing our selves and our world through self love. :heart:

Thanks for the reminder! I want to read this, and I first heard about it on BB’s Unlocking Us Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unlocking-us-with-brené-brown/id1494350511?i=1000491417626

It was a wonderful interview between Brené Brown and Sonya Renee Taylor. I just got in the queue at my library for the book.

A friend just sent me this link as well! Seriously, the Unapologetic agreements in the book were like a big yes, yes and a lightbulb all at once for me. :heart:

I’m usually quite emphatic, so this hit me home hard.

Ha ha, :grin: Pissed, is one of those words that means something different in England than in America. It means drunk to us. Like “fanny. I was in a client’s US office and someone said “Hal looked really pissed this morning”. I imagined him bouncing off desks etc.
Worse is the difference with Australian English. I was talking with a world leading consultant in MS at an international conference and my Australian CEO walked up and said to us “Hi Graham, are you going to introduce me to this wanker?”
All I could think of was " He has just called the next speaker a c**t”! :confounded:

Oh yeah, I’ve come across this!
Although English is not my first language, I would’ve find wanker rude!

Also, Fanny, can be a girls name, at least in Finland and Sweden that I know of. My friend here named here daughter that.
