I'd saved a reprint of you talking about Twitter, from a John Haydon post, and here I landed. Wow, a real life person talking about technology and change and creativity all in the same post. I'll look for you on Twitter. (I'm karibaskets). Kari Sarah,

Well, so far I have loved ALL you blogs but this transformation process--the process of finding your voice and letting your unique wave influence others--is moving and is so much the very path I am on right now. Love it. Let the adventure BEGIN! (or continue! hehe) LOVE this Blog.

I would like send you 1,000,000 dollars to... oh crap that line is taken already. I suppose I'll have to come up something unique! OH NO! Here goes nothing... Stand up and stand out. Lead, parent, teach, and love by being an example of confident humility and most of all, wear sunscreen. I look forward to growing side by side and changing the definition of success one win at a time. :) Dear Sarah,

Although taking the path towards authenticity, full self-expression and adventure can feel (or at least appear) more risky, it is so worth it! I applaud your courage, candor and honesty in this post and fully support you in moving in this direction. All of us need to stop looking for magic solutions outside ourselves and start looking within to discover our own unique voice. To clarify, I don't mean that our journey to authenticity and bold expression is a solo trip. Along the way, we most certainly get advice, direction, feedback and support from our network and from key people around us. As Keith Ferrazzi says in his new book, Who's Got Your Back, we can't possibly know everything we need to know to achieve the success we seek. That being said, there is a difference between getting support from our network, key lifeline relationships (Keith's concept) and from those who have walked before us vs. short-changing ourselves and short-circuiting our own growth by simply copying or "borrowing" others' stuff to get there faster. Thanks for your willingness to publicly lead the way. Well said, my friend!
