Side Pony Tail

June 16, 2008

Well, in my last post I forgot to mention that my hair was also in a side pony tail at my CEO’s house – A SIDE PONY TAIL. I was at my CEO’s house to babysit his daughter because he was having a private event at his home. Little did I know that the event included some of Denver’s most prestigious and prominent leaders – including some of my colleagues. I didn’t think I would be seen by anyone and I wanted to dress silly to have fun with his daughter. Well, I was seen by all…

This is me when I was 5…and this is how I felt on Thursday night:

The Real Judi

I learned something very special through this experience: I am ME! That is a great thing. I will always be me – even when I feel like conforming.

I will never conform, I will never back down, I won’t stop telling people about Jesus and I won’t feel bad about who I am.

When I look at the picture above…I can’t help but smile. I hope you can smile today about who you are.

We are young and we are FREE! We can change this world and do things that make a difference….all of this from a side pony tail, some sequin, leggings and POLKA DOT thongs with more sequin on them.

    ROFL That is totally something I would have done. I think it’s incredibly cool that you went the extra mile to dress silly for the giggle of a little girl. That says a lot about your character. Good for you! And you’re absolutely right….who you are is who you need to be. And who you are might be just the right person to reach someone that couldn’t be reached by anyone else. And that’s awesome!

    Thank you so much for your encouragement yesterday. I really needed it and am very grateful.

    “I hope you can smile today about who you are.”

    That is a huge statement that I needed to hear. Rarely do I smile about who I am. I’m too busy worrying about what I’m not.

    i bet you did the greatest job making that little girl you babysat feel like a little carefree princess. side ponies, sequins and leggings have that magic about them, you know?
