People are asking me about the closing comments on some of my articles, “Be real. Be encouraged!” Here’s what I tell them. “Countless ‘experts’ want you to be happy, rich, and famous. I just want you to be real.” I think I encourage “realness” with stories about the obvious but unacknowledged stuff of life. Sometimes life just rolls along, and it seems uneventful, but it’s not! Life is so rich in it’s humblest of forms, and we can miss it if we’re crazy with seeking great and wonderful things. Sometimes “greatness” is found in contentment with the small stuff. There is something sacred about a freshly vacuumed rug. My soul is cleansed as I rinse a dirty dish. Folding my clothes “just right” gives me inner peace. Clean your bathroom with excellence today, rule the world tomorrow! Yep, you get the point.  Be real. Be encouraged!
