scribblemynameSo one of the reasons I love Justine Musk and Tribal Writer is because she talks about finding the heart of who you are. Early on this journal, I took a look at myself through the lens of her post about being fascinating, in which Justine Musk suggests that we 'own' two words: a public one and a private one. Hers are soulful bada**. Trust me, they fit.
Mine?
Well, for public, I've got aware and purposeful. Still mulling these over and letting them clink around. For my private one...
Well, this is how we're supposed to find our private one.
With all due respect, mine is staying neatly submerged beneath the lake of my subconscious. And it's the dynamic between the public and the private where my passion lies: one I've been looking for a while, the one that would make blogging (for my public writer selves) something I actually love to do.
This came up today 'cause I was browsing my friendly internets and ran across this: "Social Media: Do What You Love (or at least like)" by Amy Sundberg on The Practical Free Spirit. Frankly, I don't want to journal about finding myself for forever. I want to find myself and be done with it!
:shakes head ruefully:
Still reaching, listening, relaxing, and waiting for something to surface.

You don’t choose this word. This word has already chosen you. You just have to relax inside yourself and let it surface.~ Justine Musk
