At our Airbnb home-away-from-home in NYC, I noticed this on a signed photograph:
It says, “Bravo! Great voice!”
In the groups I observed and participated in yesterday (at the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society annual conference), I heard variations of “Bravo!” when people were brave, authentic, went beneath the surface, and gave great voice to their thoughts and feelings.
What helped people do all this in those groups? Perhaps it was this clear message (which I saw at the church where the conference took place):
“You are safe here.”
Bravo!
Do any of my other photos from yesterday deserve a “Bravo!” ?
Here‘s the Goedicke Concert Etude, played by Julia Bravo:
Thanks to all who helped me create today’s post and — Bravo! — to YOU.
The Year(s) of Living Non-Judgmentally 
Wonderful playing of the Étude
Bravo!

We bring back magnets from our trips to place on our fridge, Ann. We don’t bring them back to give out to others, though. Your trip to NYC brings out a bravo from upstate.
Bravo for your magnetic comment and for your New York State of Mind, Mark.
Bravo, Ann!
Brava, Maureen!
Is the church on the Columbia U campus? That Latin phrase is in their seal, but of course, is appropriate in any church. I like the stuffed monkey and the etude was lovely. Bravo and brava.
The church and the airbnb was close to Columbia University, Lisa. Bravo and brava to you!
A single vowel distinguishes “bravo” from “brave”. You’re a dedicated professional, not afraid of challenges, and a brave performer. Bravo!
Bravo for your dedication and bravery, Chris!
