"Ever thought a **simple soap** could clean the world while telling a story? 🧼🌍 Dive into the bubbly tale of **Dr. Bronner's**. Emanuel Bronner wasn't just a soap-maker; he was a master storyteller who lathered his bottles with messages of unity and peace. His soaps promised purity for the body and the soul, weaving a narrative that transcended the bathroom and aimed to wash away the barriers between people. Dr. Bronner's wasn't about the suds; it was about the story behind each cap, a manifesto for a cleaner, kinder planet. **Here's a drop to remember**: **Your story is your soapbox**. Every time you speak or write, you have the power to cleanse the noise and leave behind a message that sparkles with clarity and purpose. Ready to rinse off the mundane? Let's create stories that scrub beneath the surface, revealing the authentic, shiny core of our intentions and dreams. Let's bottle up our narratives to refresh the spirit, one word at a time. 💧🌿 #DrBronnersMagic #StorytellingSoapbox #CleanNarratives"

Jane Hirshfield: "...the way that I become more permeable to the making of art, for me, it is silence and non-distraction, the preservation of contemplative moments. If I'm racing off to some appointment, a poem will generally not come to me." ---- 🎧 Listen to the FULL audio only interviews with Jane Hirshfield. Part 1: https://lnkd.in/g7YfyFPR Part 2: https://lnkd.in/gwbHMG-G Visit the episode page for a summary, timestamps, and links to resources mentioned. ---- Trailer Transcript: If life throws you a blow, and poems will come. But we're talking about when that hasn't happened. When that hasn't happened, the way that I become more permeable to the making of art, for me, it is silence and non-distraction, the preservation of contemplative moments. If I'm racing off to some appointment, a poem will generally not come to me. So, I have to create the circumstances when I can—as one poem somewhere says, taking off the third skin, taking off the fourth. A feeling of safety really helps if we're going to become permeable and unbarricaded and vulnerable. ---- #JaneHirshfield #JaneHirshfieldPoetry #TheAsking

Looking at our journey through Volume 1 of our @imperfectlyperfect_bookseries it’s incredible to see how every single co-author has continued to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery & take a way something from the process they learnt in their own reflective way. Each story shared within the pages of our book has not only touched hearts but has also served as a mirror, allowing us to glimpse into the depths of our own souls. At our inaugural event, our esteemed celebrity co-author, Baywatch’s very own Angelica Bridges, beautifully articulated this sentiment as she shared her own insights gleaned from the stories of others. Her words resonated deeply with all in attendance, highlighting the transformative power of storytelling. It’s truly remarkable how the experiences of others can serve as catalysts for our own growth and self-awareness. In reading the stories of our fellow co-authors, we have all been challenged to confront our own truths, to embrace vulnerability, and to find strength in our shared humanity and we hope they have helped you to in your own reflective ways. This journey is a testament to the divine orchestration of our paths, orchestrated by a higher power. Each person’s story, each moment of courage and vulnerability shared, is a reminder of the interconnectedness of our lives and the profound impact we have on one another. As we continue on this journey, we all certainly cherish the lessons learned, the connections forged, and the profound transformations that have taken place within each of us. May we always remember the power of storytelling to inspire, to heal, and to illuminate the path to self-discovery. #angelicabridges #imperfectlyperfectcampaign #mentalwellbeing #hollywood #everybodyhasastory #collective #godswork
