Writing about my "Old Age Ain't For Sissies" TAJ posting, KAB noted, “This is a good one for your article. It sounds more like you than some of your earlier TAJ workings. Keep on sharing!”
She raises a good point about sounding - or not sounding - like
"me." Most of what I have shared over the past week has
come from doing a lot of listening - to
all sorts of audio tapes, or having Elsa read aloud to me, since my eyes have not been up to par for
over a year.
It is hard for even me to know
when it is Kay Lockhart having an original thought and when it is Louise Hay or Christiane Northrup or Marianne
Williamson or Deprak Chopra or Steven
Covey or Barbara Sher or John Bradshaw or Mary Pipher or Antoine de
Sainte-Exupery or Nathaniel Branden or Scott Peck or SARK or Alan Cohen
or Ram Dass or Carolyn Foster or A.A.
Milne and so on and so forth.
ME is changing so fast it is hard to keep up at times. It feels like more bubbles up to the surface
than ever before - well, since I fell in love, married and became a mom for the
first time. We are even trying to put together my very own web site, which
seems ... well, I do not know what it
seems, but it does.
Talk about "the
times today are a'changing" ~
who'd 'a thunk that I would set foot
anywhere near a meeting of people considering
the role of women within the General Church, but there I was Monday
evening, feeling right at home, sitting
front and center, and enjoying it immensely.
Disclosure ~ a key part of the recent postings was not my own idea. Elsa
dreamt up The Velveteen Grammie title, based on a discussion we had last
night. A Lockphy Murphart favorite (a
natural, considering all our stuffies), she had
to fish the book out of their bedroom bookcase for me to look up the long
quote.
Sorry if I spouted off a bit in this posting. KAB hit a nerve. Some family
members discount what they seem
to consider my blusterings, attributing them
to Elsa, as if I were a mindless nimcompoop who could not have a
serious thought of my own.
Kris' comment hit a nerve, but it has gotten my
curiosity up and running. Which parts did not sound like me? Were they things said or style? Please let me know more and that goes for
all of you. One big request – be specific.
Generalities leave me hanging about what seemed off key.
Nite-nite and God bless - am off
to have my face washed and onto bed!
Love – KRL
