Recently, I was asked why I share on social media.  Why I write a blog.  Why I feel the need to put it out there.

I explained that I tried holding it in, but that didn’t really work out for me.  And that I share with the intention of inspiring.

Truth is, I learn an awful lot from those who find the courage to share their stories in books, art, service, and status updates.  And while the insights, humility, and kindness I continue to gain through these shared pieces cannot be paid back, this gratitude blog is one way I intentionally try to pay it forward.

Today, I spent a lot of time reflecting on sharing.  What it means to share your best.  To freely offer your strength.  Your beliefs.  Your deepest and truest Self.

There are some (maybe even many) who spend the bulk of their temporary existence here among us convinced that sharing their best is nothing but a convoluted dream.

And others, who so passionately and openly share their dreams that they continue to weave their way into reality even long after they are gone.

I’m honored to stand with the Dreamers.  The Sharers.  The Good Doers.
