i love this

“… afraid of turning off some secret sector of society, the one I didn’t have the password for.

Actually, I did this equally in life and in business. I shone my light but maybe like a flashlight so I could hide it away if the wrong person was around, the one who wouldn’t appreciate the brightness. ”

this is a difficulty so many of us face; not everyone puts their finger on it as well as you do.

the password and the flashlight. lovely metaphors.

so – now you don’t care about the password anymore, and you carry a big torch?

You are so on target! I used to be a dimmer switch depending on who I was around. No more!

This is right on the money, Colleen. And it can be challenging when we’ve had years of training that conformity is a desired trait. After all much of schooling is just that – conformity training. So the impulse to be what others expect or prefer can be strong, but even worse it is often insidious and barely detectable (conscious).

I think our feelings are the key – when we’re lettin’ it rip and just being ourselves it just flows – no resistance. It just feels easy and right. Anything less ain’t it! )

Diversity is where it’s at and I am very grateful to be in a world where there is more diversity than I can even wrap my mind around. More to choose from! I love
choices!

Thanks for your inspired sharing, Col. You rock! (Look out, Mick…)

I love what you say. I struggled with trying to be everything to everyone all my life… I learned it’s just not living as your true spirit. I just want to be me… and anyone that wants to party is more than welcome…

What an incredible message for…well…EVERYONE.

Your uniqueness, your light and your colors are all just as they’re intended to be. Some will “Love” them…Some won’t…So what…NEXT!!

Shine it in whatever way that “feels” good and natural to you and you’ll attract those who it was intended to benefit.

Thanks for sharing such a powerful message Col.

I for one think your light is absolutely incredible and your willingness to “shine it” in the unique and awesome way that only you can, has, does and will continue to be a lovingly infectious contribution that so many will benefit from and hopefully more will “catch.”

The world needs more like you.

This is so true! I know I’ve struggled with this so much. I always thought I was too enthusiastic, spirited, and even a little bit bubbly or most people to handle. I thought about my age and how I’m too young to be taken seriously. But it’s all just part of my charm- part of my light to shine to the rest of the world.

I promise to shine on!
