Alright, I’m starting over, sort of but not really. Actually what I am doing is giving up. I’ve been stuck for several years trying to be perfect before I truly let myself live out loud. Trying to find my purpose, my destiny, and my perfect vocation. I’m getting tired of holding back because of my fear and disappointed by life because of my unrealistic ideals. As a result I’m yearning to share who I am but not strong enough, just yet. So I’m going to point you to some of the things that inspire me. They hint at the real me.

For years I’ve watched these videos over and over again, late into the night seeking inspiration. I understand what these people mean when they talk about their life and their less than perfect process of becoming a human. I relate. Check them out if you have time. It will take about an hour but I’m sure you’ll be just as inspired as I am.

What’s interesting about these folks is that they are so open to sharing their journey and challenging the assumptions in their world. At one time in my life I was this honest and public about my journey but not lately. I’ve shut down to attend to the mundane existence, keep a low profile, but want to rise to their level of sharing with the world. It’s frightening but it’s coming.

All I know is that I have been inspired by so many people who have creatively sharing their passions, daily life struggles and expertise so what the heck I might as well too. I’m going against the part of me that wants things to be perfect right off and going to invite others to join in my progress. Let’s see what happens.
