Becoming
from Real Talk with Tina and Ann
Send us Fan MailAs we say at Real Talk with Tina and Ann, life is a journey and let's do this together. We are all becoming. We are all a work in progress. "Imperfect progress is still progress," Tina reminds us in this episode. We are all moving forward. Life can be a marathon sprint. Ann talks about worth as she says for the first time, "I like me...I will not let other's words about my worth become my beliefs, even if they gave birth to me." How we "talk to ourselves in the privacy of our own minds, matters," Tina shares.Join us as we get Real. The Velveteen Rabbit says it all. “Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.''Does it hurt?' asked the Rabbit.'Sometimes,' said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. 'When you are Real you don't mind being hurt.''Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,' he asked, 'or bit by bit?''It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.”― Margery Williams Bianco, The Velveteen RabbitNext week, we will be having an amazing guest who is the epitome of overcoming adversity. Don Bartlette has spoken around the world and he has a book, stage play and song written about his life. Tune in next week.Thank you so much for listening to Real Talk with Tina and Ann.
