VulnerABILITY Make shame your Bitch VulnerABILITY Make shame your bitch This is a long blog but I promise it is worth it. The dictionary defines vulnerability as “the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally”. This almost sounds like trauma? In fact, in disaster management, they use the term vulnerability of various aspects of society to cope after the disaster, or to estimate their risk of a disaster. That is a key phrase don’t you think? To cope! 09/21/2018

Why do we bother! Why do we bother? Why do we bother with all this self care and self improvement? What is the point of it all anyway? Either way we will move through life with or without it. Either way we are in a (human) race that no one wins.
