Last month at (in)courage, I wrote about when you want to be known. After I wrote that post, I’ve thought a lot about the word authenticity. It seems like there are as many definitions of what it means as there are people in the world. I tend to think of it as saying what you think, always being the same person no matter the situation, being honest, verbalizing your opinions. But what about if you are a contemplative person? Someone who takes a while to figure out what she thinks about things? I never could have been on a debate team: I don’t think fast enough. Today at (in)courage, I’m circling around this topic again, considering community when being authentic means shutting your mouth. Join me there?
For April: “on how to be an introvert” or “on how to be a polite extrovert” please?

Being authentic is the key. It’s about being considerate and honest and being a good listener too.
Yesterday while walking to lunch in downtown Tulsa, Ok an older guy stopped me said “you look like an artist.” I replied “We All are.” He didn’t quite know how to respond….he just said “Hmm.” I knew how to reply!! Thanks for being you, Emily.
