I don't normally let people see my work without some editing. I kind of compare that to a blog post or a book, they need to be worked over more than one time. Somethings are great raw, say carrots for instance.<br /><br />But I think it takes a very daring person to completely honest and transparent. I have tried to be that way, and I am not sure if I have even come close to hitting that mark. I have chosen distance in the last few years due to wounds that haven't healed yet. My guess, that is where a lot of people are- walls and distance so they don't get hurt again. That's my two cents. :)tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07900962721269056354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359968326144627968.post-89800001306233176992010-09-04T23:11:49.197-06:002010-09-04T23:11:49.197-06:00I think the word 'authentic' has been over...I think the word 'authentic' has been overused lately. Most of us would say we value it, but like you, I wonder if we really know what that means? I think it's a scary thing, actually. It goes hand-in-hand with being vulnerable and humble.Anetahttp://www.progressivelens.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359968326144627968.post-51150919043952104112010-08-27T04:36:38.566-06:002010-08-27T04:36:38.566-06:00In post-modern American society, we suffer from to...In post-modern American society, we suffer from too many fake and shallow relationships; most lack authenticity. Authentic relationships are hard work and get sloppy, uncomfortable, and challenging at times. So, if the relationships you find yourself in right now are easy, neat, and sugar sweet, chances are that relationship is not authentic. I challenge you to take time, examine your relationships, an if they are not authentic, you have to options. Option one, take a long hard look and do what you can to that relationship true. Option two, seriously investigate how you can change that relationship in an authentic one.Will Spahrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653371130920855010noreply@blogger.com
