With the political bs meter off the charts these days, it's important to try to see folks in their true colors. I think it was Lauper who sang it in the early 80's, although I'm sure that was not the first version. It almost never is!
You can confirm with my children that as they were growing up I asked and taught them to never lie. If you tell the truth, you don't ever have to remember which lies you told to which people and then try to behave a certain way in front of different sections of acquaintances. It's baffling! Some people live lie after lie after lie.
One of the things I have done with this blog is to try to share with you all some of my life's experiences. This is honesty in its most glaring form. To open yourself up to comment, non matter the subject, is to freely put yourself up on the chopping block. To know and have faith enough in yourself that maybe just ONE person needs to hear or see or feel that they are not alone, because you have been where they are, have been through what they are dealing with, or are ~ at the very least ~ compassionate to their situation.
Truth is empowering. Truth is humbling. Truth is beautiful!
Who are you really? What lies beneath your facade? Are you real or are you painting some mystical, magical tapestry of some vision. If you are anything but YOU . . . you are cheating the world of your wonder, your inspiration, your incredible gifts, your strengths, and your beauty!
Show us your true colors ~ shining through. Show your true colors ~ that why we love you.
Don't be afraid to let them show. Your true colors are beautiful . . . like a rainbow!
