The speaker is Brene Brown and she speaks some amazing words that are completely soul reviving! Take 20 minutes to sit down and <a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/brene_brown_on_vulnerability.html">watch it</a> if you dare.<br />
<br />
Basically, among other great messages in the talk, the main focus is that being vulnerable is a powerful tool.<br />
<br />
Brene Brown is a researcher and in a nutshell did a study on what makes women content and happy. She found that women who were truly happy and content within themselves:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>had the courage to be imperfect</li>
<li>had compassion to be kind firstly to themselves and only then to others</li>
<li>had a connection with people as a result of authenticity</li>
<li>had a complete vulnerablility which made them beautiful</li>
</ul><br />
My challenge is to you: be imperfect, have compassion, connect by being authentic, be vulnerable and sit back with a contented sigh!Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118040522848521462noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216086446467060044.post-9573534302980836082011-02-11T21:57:00.000-08:002011-02-11T21:57:12.272-08:00Where to from here?CosyCosy has just been accepted into both Niche in April and Agfest in May!<br />

This means two things, one, I need to get sewing and two, you get to touch and try on my new range soon!<br />

So this afternoon I did a wee photo shoot (must put a gorgeous, size 10 real life model on my list of things to find!):<br />

<br />
CosyCosy is about inspiring women to be themselves and to be their best. It's about providing clothing that tells a story, is free form and is a little inspired in itself.<br />
<br />
Our motto is:<br />
<i>Let yourself be seen on the inside</i><br />
<i>Love with your whole heart</i><br />
<i> Practice gratitude and joy</i><br />
<i>Believe 'I am enough'</i><br />
<br />
Through this blog, my aim is to build women up by evoking thoughts that bring passion and stimulate change into the lives of my readers.<br />
<br />
The CosyCosy clothing label is an outlet to express your individuality, creativity and beauty. But one must remember that the outer beauty is only a mirror of the inner beauty and true beauty comes from within.<br />
