Hi Tina. I love kindred spirits. I once wrote on Facebook that there’s no fuel like a kindred spirit. Thanks for filling up the tank.

Ken, one more kindred spirit has found your site (me)! I found you through Inspired at Home that you will be participating in the interview tomorrow evening. I’ll be listening (and will have my turn at being interviewed on Sept. 13). Your articles are truly inspiring; this one, in particular, outlines the decisions I had to make while I was getting back to my own authentic self. The toughest one was: “Will they still love me when they find out who I truly am?” The answer: the people who really mattered to me – yes. The not-so-critical ones – no. Being authentic is the only way to go; trying to be the “right” person is draining and serves no one. I use a similar approach in my writing workshops.

Thanks again, Ken. I look forward to more (BTW, you could collect all of your articles into a book…)

I’ve been lurking your articles for a little while now, but this I think this one’s going to stick with me pretty well.

These ideals of simply being yourself are something I’ve struggled with for a long time, but reading this puts things into perspective a little more.

And I got to learn more about you too, that’s always good, eh?

Thanks, Ken.

I just hope I wasn’t too quiet.

This is good stuff. I’m kind of aspiring towards living such a life myself.
Regarding your smoking problem – ongoing research says that some people are genetically predisposed towards being able to easily quit smoking; and some aren’t. I’d say it’s all in the head. One can stop whenever one wants to. I’ve done that. I know people who’ve done that.
