“To be nobody-but-yourself in a world that’s doing its best, night and day,
to make you everybody but yourself, means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight – and never stop fighting.”
— E..E. Cummings
My friend Thelma posted this quote on my timeline yesterday, and I thought it was a lovely way to end our 31 Days to an Authentic You.
So I’m feeling pretty authentic, how about you? Sheesh whooee, yesterday knocked my socks off. Thank you all for coming out of the dusty corners to offer a word of encouragement. Late in the afternoon I emailed Brad at work to tell him, “You were wrong! It’s a good thing I published that post!” He took it pretty well.
Seriously, though, thank you. This week’s posts were tough, but a good way to round out our exploration of authenticity. Thank you so much for sticking with me throughout this series – I learned a lot along the way (mostly from what you all shared – thank you for that).
And now, it’s time I gave you a much-needed break from me! I think I’ll take a bit of a blogging hiatus, maybe a week or so. I’ll be here on Sunday evening to host #HearItUseIt, but other than that, it’ll be quiet for a little while around here.
{Oh, and just in case you’re a Triple Type A like me and are keeping track, I really did blog 31 days straight, but only 26 of those posts were officially part of the Authentic You series. Click here for the whole line-up. Methinks I won’t be doing this 31-day thing again!}
