Ain't it the truth that we try so often to have it both ways. Well, I have zero doubts that you could shape up the world to shiny greatness (and I still want you for my CEO), but that all counts for nothing if you're a hollow shell. This is one of my favourite sayings (which my husband steadfastly refuses to have tatooed onto his forehead to make it handy when I need it): A closed mouth gathers no feet.

Of course, both organizations existed before I joined the Board and will continue long after I leave. I don't need to run the whole world, do I??? Grace, thanks for the reality check. I can't continue to complain about not having time to myself if I keep thinking I am the only person who can fix all the problems. “Close your mouth” and “Let someone else be right”…both extremely difficult for me but perfect thoughts to have on hand as I head into two Board meeting/Annual planning sessions next week.

Great post. I especially love #20 Remove whatever’s not you. So often the inauthentic stuff just cramps our lives.

She's great. She always comments and actually has things to say." So, even if yours is the only comment that appears with a post, others are reading and noticing and enjoying you as much as I do. Of course I don't mind if you put the list up around ("gonzo awareness raising" is priceless) -- maybe with a link to the site in case someone who could use what Highly Sensitive Power offers could find us here. Thank you. You make me laugh, Jo. Thanks for that, too. People who read this blog sometimes ask me, “Who’s that Jo? She’s great.

Am going to print them out, hang them up prominently on bulletin boards around my complex, at the library, at the store: stealth gonzo awareness raising for us all. He**, I may even stand on a corner and hand them out. The last one reminds me of one of my favorite quotes: T. Roosevelt: it is often easier to obtain forgiveness than permission. OTOH perhaps I should ignore that advice and ask: Grace, you wouldn't mind if I did that, would you? these are MARVELOUS!
