Being A Single Voice

Echos. They fascinate us. Sometimes they do more...they draw us into a "following" mode. Now being a follower is not bad. But it isn't authentic either. When you are following someone, you are not being your best self.

To be authentic means to be brave enough to learn who you really are, when no one is around, when you are in your room by yourself, when there is no danger of criticism or shock or dismay. For we all fear the reaction we will receive if people really knew us.

We are meant to be clear, single voices. Each person has her part to sing. And when we sing our part, clearly and unabashedly, the melody only becomes more beautiful.
