What I Am Thinking About Today

1) Where does shame come from?  I know what makes it go away, but I don't know where it comes from. 

2) How do I want my life to look in a year?

3) Personal power politics that flare up in organizations, and how I can defuse them.

4) What to plant in my side garden this year.

There's more, of course, but those four subjects are taking up about 60% of my brain space.  The shame question really interests me.

I'd love to hear what you have to say about how to make shame go away. Any chance you're willing to enlighten the rest of us?

Shame comes from denial of who we are; it's the friction between what we want to think about ourselves (and what we want others to think of us) and what our actions actually say about ourselves.

vegetable or flower garden?
