Always be a first rate version of yourself

"instead of second rate version of somebody else" ~ Judy Garland

"Simple Abundance" is all about discovering your authentic self, the meaning being found at webster's dictionary/authentic It's about you being you and not just like anyone else. Don't strive to be as beautiful as Cindy Crawford, entertain like Martha Stewart, sing like Adele or dance like Ginger Rogers. Strive to be the best you, you can be. Your best is always good enough.

I've had lot's of nicknames over the years. Lead Foot Lucy (drive fast) Martha Stewart on Speed (decorate fast?) Lightning Bolt (bright flash!) so apparently a) I do things fast and b) I'm being compared to someone else. I've even wrote an essay for a college English class in 1995 about the many people I've been over the years that I posted here a few years back called Who I Am. Sixteen years later, here I am reading a book about self-discovery when at the time, I thought I had already done so, but it was just the first step down the path and it's a never ending process.
