Is there nothing more liberating than being around people who love you for YOU and who really see you? They’re not trying to mold you to their agenda or stuff you into a role they think you should play. They delight in your very you-ness as you delight in theirs!

Be yourself.

Ah, how we sometimes cheat the world of our singularity as a matter of course. Fear-based shadows of ourselves emerge, flailing helplessly in the wind of confusion. The greatest gift we can all provide is to strip the layers of our inner onion.

Go for it! I’ll be cheering you on as you do!
