Words to live by...

There are words with which I think I might just like to have a passionate affair. Some of them are words I have used in my posts and others are those that you have used when commenting on something I’ve written…

Synchronicity. Serendipity. Clarity. Compassion.

But one of my all time favourite words and, therefore, one that seems to have entwined itself throughout my life like a beautifully fragrant creeping jasmine…

Authenticity.

Having read so many heartfelt posts by so many eloquent and insightful writers here, I felt compelled to pass along a website that I came to unexpectedly (ohhh, one of my favourite words in action!)  I think that so many of us are reaching out, testing the boundaries, sharing and supporting each other - all in a sort of organic movement that I’d not actually identified. 

Then I came upon a beautiful blog, though it is much more than that.  It exemplifies all sorts of things that I have been struggling with in my life and, I suspect, things that many of you have struggled with as well.

I don’t want to water down or merely reiterate anything that she has written herself, so I have chosen to simply post the pledge and a link to the site.
