All information exists and is understood through context. The sources we root our ideas in have an impact on the directions of our conversations and the meanings behind them. If we do not discuss them they become subtext and invisible. While it is not essential to eliminate all subtext from communication, it is valuable to discuss our sources from time to time.
This (hopefully weekly) feature of BTiOLW, will give me a chance to share my sources, and inspirations, also known in some internet circles as “The Sauce”, giving relative context to the topics discussed and lead to better nuance and mutual understanding.
The first “Sauce” I would like to feature is the work of Brene Brown, especially the book, Daring Greatly. Which I do not remember specifics about but have absorbed a lot of the ideas presented in her work and was inspired by, Daring Greatly, in particular to start this blog and be more vulnerable and out there. I just rewatched her TED talk, “The Power of Vulnerability“. It was just as powerful as the last time I watched it. She has such an authenticity of spirit, that is essential to encouraging others to be introspective about their lives.
Meanwhile I am taking the advice and not making a perfect post. I’m making a good enough post. Her work and ideas have an influence on the way I think and write, I am acknowledging that here, both in gratitude and for context into the future.
