are you hiding behind your self?
fa·cade
function: noun
etymology: french façade, from italian facciata, from faccia face, from Vulgar Latin *facia*
1 : the front of a building; also : any face of a building given special architectural treatment
2 : a false, superficial, or artificial appearance or effect
In italy, they call it "bella figura". it is how you present yourself to the world. there is something to be said about taking pains to look good.
and then, there is life from the inside out.
your brilliance is about truth, not arrogant intelligence or a clever string of words.
you can no longer hide behind the facade of your fancy phrases or hollow actions.
this is a place where the surface is only part of the story. the real content is below the idleness of everyday.
the space where quiet and clarity are unveiled.
where the heart is open, and truth is revealed.

Hi there!
I stumbled upon your blog after a lovely comment you placed upon Danielle LaPorte's White Hot Truth site back in February.
I'm writing for 2 reasons.
a) LOVE what you say & how you say it
b) WANT to subscribe but cannot get the feeds to work. Feed cannot be found???
Thought you might want to know so you can fix. Drop me a line when you get it up & running!!! (fluidityyoga@gmail.com)
