Challenge: Write a short paragraph (100 words or less) daily on a topic beginning with the sequential letter of the alphabet.
Homogeny
No one comes to a screeching halt beside a brick wall and gushes over a particular brick, do they. Why? Because they’re homogeneous – each so similar to the other that none stand out as unique. Yet isn’t that exactly what society and the media are trying to tell us to become? Women are to look like air-brushed, photoshopped models; men are to become successful in high-paying and powerful careers, regardless of their dreams or individual giftings. But I’m with Robert Frost; let the cream rise. Follow your hearts in your careers, and learn to love yourself as you are!
