I am a smart guy
I can do anything
I’ve always been that way.
I’ve had my health issues
I have all my lifetime.
It’s hard to shine at something
when you are putting a lot of energy into surviving
and, in return, not given anything.
I can still shine
but I need your support and your patience
some good old mentoring and capacity building,
essentially
accommodating what’s working against me.
Making room for me to be me
like you would for anybody,
but you’re not.
Great words, sound intentions, validated by actions not just desires.

You know your strengths and your challenges. You are willing to feel and express your feelings. You know what you need and you are able to ask for what you need. You persevere. These are just a few of the things that make you shine. Surround yourself with people and things that are good for you. I’m cheering for you and glad to be part of your blogging family. Peace to you, Harlon.

You are in. I see you in Majorette boots and spinning a button and smiling. I didn’t even notice if you were in step, but I am pretty sure you were and everyone else was just a tad off! Thanks for the sweetness, Harlon

Hello my beautiful friend!! I see you shining…I have always seen your light! The day that you turn a corner and your shadow follows you…you will look for the sun but it won’t be there. Because you will realize that the only reason you can see your shadow is because of your own light!! Love you…sending thoughts of beauty ❤ ❤

Thanks Lorrie – I am enjoying the new awareness and gentleness I can find for myself. This post was a toned down “fuck you” letter to a certain corporation – so my advocate/activist side was feeling like it needed to be expressed. I think everybody should be given a fair chance in life and if we can begin with our children and instill that value, then I will be one happy camper. Oh bother 🙂 Harlon
