You know me, you don't know me...


You may know that I've lived in Minneapolis for two years, that I work with kids, that I'm a painter.  You may know that I'm what I call "Lutheran, more or less".  You may know that I have brown hair, brown eyes, might even know I'm ambidextrous.


But you may not know that I'm weak.  That I try to buoy up everyone around me, when I myself am struggling to find the strength to keep myself afloat.  You may not know that I'm a natural people-pleaser, that I am afraid to express my opinions because I don't ever want to upset anyone.  You may not know that I dabble in things deemed "New Age"--aromatherapy, yoga.  You may not know that I can be very, very sloppy.  You may not know that I have certain (ahem) habits.


You may know that I strive to be more than I am.  I want to grow.


You may know Clint, or you may not.  I hope you will.  I hope I will.

Wow, Clint.  That was an amazing introduction.  Not too many people are that open with who they really are.


I hope you find a place here where you feel safe to express your opinions without fear of upsetting anyone.


By the way, I'm very sloppy, too!

Welcome, Clint! It's good to see you here!


Don't worry about "offending" anyone here...I offend people ALL THE TIME! I just live and let live...unless you start badmouthing my Vin Diesel...


THEN YOU MUST DIE!!!

Hey Clint. We all have things about us which make us unique. :)
I'm into the paranormal...ghosts, and goblins, and all that jazz. I don't dabble in it, but, I love researching it.

Welcome aboard. I'm glad you posted an introduction. I hope we can strengthen your walk with God, and be a validating part of your self-discovery.

God bless u.

Welcome Clint!!! 


Feel free to explore your thoughts and feelings with us.  We are a mixed bag of nuts and we all have our issues that we are working through.  This is a very loving band of folks and love getting to know others.


(ya'll can have your Vin Diesel, I have my own balding beauty!!!)


Oh, by the way Clint, there is no place or topic that is sacred.

Hi Clint.  Ignore the fact that these clowns hijack every thread to make it about them!!    I'm glad you're here!  And I think we should all strive to be authentic while still being careful of other peoples feelings.  I think there is a balance.  Something that we could probably all spend our whole life never exactly perfecting.  Don't be too hard on yourself.

As open as I may have been in my intro, I realise that there is a lot only addressed obliquely.  I'm not sure what's appropriate to address how, but I hope to find the ways.


Clint

Me, too, Clint!


Well, not the yoga, although I should. I love aromatherapy, though. And energy healing stuff, too.
