Hey dusty! Good to see you pop by. Don't beat yourself up for comparing. Most of the folks here are thrust with the EA/PA happening and find out details, when they're not ready to handle the info because they are still raw and working through emotions. I am fortunate that I haven't found anything concrete, but her EA was enough to shatter things for me and I am finally closing that loop of emotion after 12 months. And by doing that I gave myself time to get to a place where I am almost built with bullet proof glass rather than a delicate porcelain vase.
I did check out Brown's TED talks. The one on the power of vulnerability is awesome. I haven't picked up her books yet but it's on the list. Thanks for the awesome suggestion.
