What if we asked to come into your home while you were in the middle of a good day spent there, a day of real living? I know what you’re thinking. But wait.  There’s no need to tidy up. Please leave everything the way it is a little while longer.  We would like to know the story of your moments today and everything you have around you only helps to tell that story well and to tell it true.  What kinds of things have you done?  What are the possessions you use to live the way you like?  Show us.  May we take a picture or two? Would you tell us about your authentic living?   Wouldn’t it make a lovely, true story about who you are and what you do?  Wouldn’t it encourage us all to embrace the beauty of our true lives lived behind the neat & tidy photo shoot exteriors? You would embolden me to cast off the haunting standard of perfection and live authentically, learning to love every moment.

So what do you say? May we come in? But wait… before you answer, come to my house first.
