Using Vulnerability as a Measure of Courage

Being a spiritual artist involves taking creative risks. We’re often putting ourselves out there for the world to see – through our words, our art, and our creative endeavors.

Some will love our work while others may not. But that’s okay. We’re not here to please everyone. We’re here to serve our creative purpose in the best way we can – through the divine gifts we’ve been given.

And in serving our purpose, we’re often relying on the strength of our vulnerability.

As popular author, storyteller, and researcher Brene Brown says, “Vulnerability is our most accurate measurement of courage.”

It takes a LOT of courage to be vulnerable.

When we’re vulnerable, we’re shedding our exterior layers – exposing the rawness of who we are. We’re being real. We’re being authentic.

And isn’t this what creativity is all about?

In order to express our creative voice, it’s imperative to let others have a peek inside of our mind, our heart, and our soul. It’s from these places within us that true creativity can emerge.

And what we create from the depth of who we are is truly magical!

As you expand into the next phase of your creative vision, how does vulnerability play a role? How does it impact your creative risks?

These are the types of rich questions that we’ll be exploring in next month’s Moonlight Journaling Retreat – where we’ll be dabbling with 18 different journal writing techniques as we journey through the moon phases during a real-time 28-day lunar cycle.

Come join a beautiful and very sacred circle of women – and dance with your inner wisdom as you explore the various aspects of yourself, your life, and your relationships with others – through the art of journal writing.

Our next circle opens on Monday, October 12th. For more information, please click on the link above.

Here’s to the magic of courageous new beginnings!
