Editors Monthly “Share”
exploring vulnerabilty with insidewink co-founders, Jean Trebek & Alison Martin
Hello wonderful friends,
This month we’re looking at the concept of Vulnerability and its promising power to bring about more intimacy; which can certainly give rise to feelings of insecurity. However, let’s remember that to be engaged and alive in this world requires us to take the risk of expressing ourselves…being open and honest with our feelings.
At times, many of us have experienced the rejection or anger from another when we’ve opened our hearts… what happens next is up to us… Let’s be brave and continue to be real with each other and not allow the fear of disappointment to keep us from feeling a heart connection with others. You’ll never really let yourself be known and you will never really know yourself if you cover up or wear a mask when your soul really wants to shine thru.
It all comes down to this…we all want the same thing, to be accepted for who we really are…let’s offer that space of honor to another as much as we offer it to ourselves.
Here’s what’s happening on insidewink…

Opening up to being vulnerable truly opens others hearts. When my Climate and Culture group talked about this, we trusted one another and told stories of when we had been vulnerable and this truly made us closer, gave us more compassion and care. It is a gift. Thank you for your focus this month, it means a lot!
Thanks for your kind comment, Wendy.
We appreciate you and wish you all the best!
Be well.
