Wow – this really brought on an "aha" moment for me. You hit the nail on the head. Exactly why I haven't posted on my blog in forever. I'm hiding. I had an emotional weekend over the 4th of July and it knocked the wind out of my sails because I couldn't seem to write about it. Hiding. That's it exactly. And also? Hello, my name is Jessica and I'm a fame hog (oink, oink). Hmmm it seems the 2500wds ladies all have that bug!

But really it's wanting to be heard and in being heard, connecting with the listener. For me, it all comes down to connection. I guess – being fair – I've been doing a lot of connecting in my off-line life which takes a lot of energy. And reduces my need to connect on line. I guess I need to find the balance between putting myself "out there" and hiding AND between connecting online and connecting offline.

Thanks for all those AHA moments Lisa. You rock.

Lisa – You are seen; you are heard; and I do love you! With your brilliance and your shaky-quaky issues, you are a Perfect Person. You and everyone here are acknowledged and appreciated in ways you'll never know.

PS: When I was a choreographer, I used to hide myself and my dancers in bizarre costumes and animal masks. 'Please watch me dance, but please don't see ME!'

What's most beautiful is that you can create through the stuff you've got going on. What I find is that humans are hard-wired to use their greatest gifts to "hide" from their deepest truths. In other words, it's not the writing — you could have posted 25 articles in 20 days on mundane, 'how-to' stuff and they would be proficient and useful and 'by the book' but when it comes to your truth, your passion, your core, well we hide out. Because you (and LaVonne, and I suspect everyone else who relates to 'fame') don't want to simply BE FAMOUS, you want to be HEARD for your truth — shine the light on it. That's what the spotlight is about wise one. I love this post. And I love that LaVonne broke her silence to come visit!

For me it was/is my weight. Most people look straight through fat people and I often feel invisible. I wanted so desperately to be seen which is crazy because how can you NOT see a 350 pound woman?! So now I just let my light shine…sort of lol
