Silly's post
Authentication
I've never been shy, exactly, but I HAVE been afraid to really be myself. Since about 7th grade. Like maybe some people would think less of me if I just AM. If I'm spontaneously authentic, I may come across as... scatterbrained and unreflecting. Overly-enthusiastic. Or, dare I say it;,...bawdy, God forbid.
But since I got my bracelet, that number six bead keeps creeping to the top. Six, sticks; drumsticks. March to my OWN beat.
So, knowing it was my gal-pals birthday today (she runs the smoothie place at my Y) I stepped outside my box, and when I got done with my sweaty workout, I started singing - at the top of my lungs - as I came down the stairs. EVERYONE in the entire facility could hear me from this podious point. And, even though I could FEEL the blood flooding my face, I kept singing, LOUDLY, with a smile on my face cuz it felt so damm good, as I walked up to her at the Smoothie Stand. She was glowing, and so was I.
I'm sure there were a few folks who thought I was overly this or that. Or, dare I say it;... bawdy. But God didn't forbid it, so I did it.
And I believe He's smiling, too.
I love that - God didn't forbid it - so I did it! Awesome Sally - that really is courage and friendship - Jaki :)
You're Hired!!! Starjumps of JOY...So very proud of YOU, Sally! What a priceless birthday gift...one right from your very beautiful heart to hers on her special day. Doesn't get much better than this...well, unless of course you were wearing a broccoli smile: )! Love YOU, Broccoli Girlfriend! You are gorgeous in your ways...HUGS with Love, Diane xox
You made that joyful noise huh? Good for you!
I wish I had your courage:)
Sally, this is big stuff. Imagine the things we would experience and accomplish if embarrassment wasn't a deal. Amazingly, it is only perception, like all fears, as you've proven. I know God's smiling, and so am I. Well done girl. I love this.
You are awesome!!!
You were BEING what He made you. That's the highest compliment that I can think of. ;->
