Yes, I think we are all bijiggified trying to do the next thing right. Well, at least I am. I am especially bijiggified trying to get my mind around the paradigm shift. Loved the blog. I’m still thinking . . .

And back to another one of the blogs about being shiny – I think the way we can be shiny without losing our friends is by being just how Briana is when she writes the blog. I mean self-depricating. Allowing that we aren’t perfect, admitting our inadequacies. It’s easier for people to accept our shininess when it comes wrapped in humlity.

Being shiny is also easier for people to take when we attribute our success to others, ur mothers, the group, for instance, not just our own “greatness.”

I think the hardest people for women to be shiny around is other women because we have an inherent jealousy built in that is hard to shake off, even when we want to.

Thought provoking, wonderful blog.
