Ken…you are brilliant. and I really love rule #4…being yourself allows other people to grow. Some people need to get over their prejudices towards certain things…but most of the time, the people giving you the most grief are the people who have the desire within to be the same way but at some point in their lives they were told it was stupid. Being your authentic self helps them open up (even if it doesn’t immediately appear to). Can’t wait to read more of your articles.

Wandered over here via Tony Noland’s place… glad I did.

Yeah. I guess at my ripe young age of somewhere between 40 and 50 I’ve decided that I really don’t give a damn what anyone in my family thinks anymore. Time’s a ticking – whay waste all those precious seconds worrying and trying to change the color of stripes when I could be out being… my eccentric self?

I look forward to your series… very much. Peace, Linda

Hey Ken, Still think it’s nice to feel understood, but well taken points that some just don’t have it to give, and that self-generated support trumps all.

And how do you bring your drawings to your page. I’d like to do that, too.
