Transparency...

Is it all women?

Or perhaps all of the human race? Or maybe just some of us?

Who have felt the need ...
"to try not to offend" or "to not be different" or "to fit in" or

"to be sensitive to others" or "to not embarrass the children"

AND, in the process, have lost our voice and expression

as to who we really are, what we really think,
what we are really struggling with, what we are excited about,
and what causes us fear.

For me... hmmm....
I'm afraid to "dance in public" as much as I'd like ~
To hop and skip and jump and spin
To laugh and giggle and run and wrestle
To give high fives and smile from ear-to-ear and
To live for big bear hugs, warm embraces, and tender kisses.

I'd like to embrace being a goofball fulltime!

(Sorry 'bout that kids!! :~)
