In your notebook, copy the quotes that resonate the most. Reflect on each quote and ask, "What's true for me today? What's sacred here?" Write in a way that is loose and free. Write to explore.

Exploring Metaphor...
"Manifesting I Am ___"
Before you watch the video below, title a new page in your notebook, "I Am" and then use this phrase as a sentence starter to fill every line on the notebook page with "I am" and then fill in the blanks. For example...
I am Kris.
I am loving.
I am kind.
I am adventure-seeking.
Keep going until your page is full.
Then, watch the video.
What's coming up for you from what Brene is most hoping to relay?
Are you wanting to add more "I am" statements to the page?
Watch the video one more time and collect all the words that resonate for you. This, along with your "I Am" page, is a lexicon. A body of words. What would you love to create with all of this? What would you love to create with your words and images and truths?
Image to Words.
When you untangle this, what will you have set free?
