Flaunting quirks

Posted on July 27th, 2007 by Shawn in Freedom Challenge, Gratitude, Sparkle, Stretching the comfort zone

There really is something to be said for getting older!  For most of my 50+ years, I've tried to hide just how quirky I am and have been pretty much miserable.  Quirks, in my terminology, are those behaviors that may seem "out of the mainstream" but are somewhat precious to you, and are really a part of who you are.  Turning 50 has set me free to at least dabble in letting my little oddities out.  And, it's so much more fun!  I hope to be a role model for my clients and friends and family – especially my granddaughter!  If she can experience loving who she is at a much younger age, I would be thrilled beyond measure!

Why not skip?  Why not play the kazoo – even on my voicemail?  Yes, I want to be seen as professional, but my dream is that everyone steps more into who they are and, like it or not, I love playing the kazoo.  (I am transported to being about five years old and loving being me).  So far, the kazooing hasn't seemed to offend anyone's sensibilities.  And God love 'em if it does!  I wanna live with the same joie d' vivre I had at five!  I wanna sparkle!  I wanna see everybody sparkle!!
What kinds of things bring out your sparkle?

    I’ve always been rather quirky. When I turn 50 (next year), who knows what could happen!
