This week’s podcast and blog was inspired by something that was said at my favorite 8-Day writing conference down in FL. One of my favorite Boston Authors, Dennis Lehane (Mystic River, Gone Baby Gone, Live By Night) was talking about writing “Characters” in our stories and I couldn’t help but see the connection between that and Spiritual Integrity. I was curious about what determines our character, are we really who we think and “say” we are and how are we showing up when nobody is watching. Sometimes when we act “out of character” it’s because we’re not in our right mind. We have temporarily, as A Course in Miracles says, “taken a detour into fear”. We’re literally “out of our mind”! Ha! Here’s the thing, if what we think/believe and what we “say” we believe are not in alignment with what we DO, there's going to be some suffering. Not only for us, but for those in our lives as well. Today on The Karen Kenney Show we’re asking the question; Who Are You? Is who we truly are aligned with the character that we display both in private and out to the world? It’s time to cut the crap (ha!), take a good look at ourselves and do our best to make sure that what we think, say & do is in alignment. That the person you claim to be is actually reflected in how you’re showing up in real life and online.
