Embracing the Unique Self

Almost 4 years ago I started a blog called You, Me, and My DuPree Knee on the day I found out I needed knee replacement surgery.  I started it on a day that I was in a crisis. As a former clinical nurse, I learned to respond to crisis situations with creative solutions, and that day the idea to create a blog flowed through me. But last year my blogging product was dropped by godaddy, and I chose to shut down the blog rather than start over because frankly the act of putting blog posts out to the public was never easy anyway. 
Today my weariness of having to pretend to be someone I’m not has reached a crisis point, and this has spawned the creation of another blog. You see, I LOVE working with clients in my energy healing practice one-on-one, and I LOVE writing, but everything else that has to do with being an entrepreneur and being an author that involves interacting with the public I strongly dislike (and that's a big understatement), because it seems to require me to be someone I'm not.  I am a recluse and every single contact I have with the public is difficult.  Every FB post.  Every tweet.  Even this blog post.  But I’m owning it.  This is who I am, and I’m done with fighting against my own nature.  I do not need to be fixed for I am not broken.
So whoever you are, whether you love to be the center of attention or abhor it, let’s embrace our unique selves. The world needs all kinds of people, even reclusive healer-authors.
