Been dreaming

"The light of hope, the hope of light", March 2010

I'd like to live bravely.  To be loud and laugh and lovable without the cloud of shame that seems to seep into my joints, clog up my vessels and squeeeeeze my lil' heart.  To be courageous and self-assured in my goodness, in my worthiness, and in the value of my contribution.

I guess I continue to dream of a life in which what I do is actually valued, that my own personal strengths are seen as a commodity.  I joke that it'll probably be easier to remarry then to ever find a job in which I will feel safe to admit my weaknesses, build on them, and to actually be valued by my strengths. 

Does that environment exist anywhere?  In your work place, in your home, in your school or in your child's, in your communities'?

How do we build that?
