My Favorite Mentor

I am carefully, carelessly, cheerfully, unapologetically me. I am joyfully, swiftly, truthfully, completely, captivatingly me. Can’t you be a little less YOU?” my favorite mentor asks me. I look at her, and we start laughing. We cannot stop. We laugh until we are sobbing. See now why she is my favorite?

Thank you Evelyn. This happened twenty-four years ago and we still laugh when we think of it.

Love this one, Karen, especially the line: "Can’t you be a little less YOU?” I think I've tempted in my long life to repeat this line on more than one person or occasion. / M
