One day as I struggled to create an appropriate “life-coachy” kind of Twitter update, I realized something: I was boring! I was bored by my own postings, and I can’t imagine that anyone else would get much from them. My own voice was not shining through. I thought, “I am way more interesting than it appears based on these lame status updates!”

So I have rethought my approach. I will continue to have appropriate blog postings and Facebook business page updates–not too many of them. But I will bring my real voice here. After all, who I am is more important, in the long run, than what I have to say. As I know from my personal Facebook page, being my real self is much more fun (and gets a better response) than trying to maintain a stiff facade.

So, dear readers, you might notice my odd sense of humor come through more in these postings. Not to mention my love of 50-cent words, fierce defense of grammar, occasionally snarky comment, my willingness to laugh a lot and love fiercely, and my appreciation for a really bad joke. I will try to keep the swearing to a minimum (sometimes my authentic voice can out-curse a sailor or a pirate).

In the interest of generating comments, please share how you find or use your authentic voice in your life or business.
