I love who I am and what I do. That doesn’t mean I speed in Germantown or march into parties with blue lights outside. Being a badass also entails showing respect to the rest of the world. Granted, I should have dropped the hammer on the self-absorbed hooker behind me that talked through the ENTIRE Indigo Girls show. But my pace generally involves living and letting live. Making that poor insecure asshole feel worse about being boring and unnoticeable would not have made her shut up. Besides, she doesn’t deserve honesty from me.

No, I reserve my anger and criticism for people who want to grow. I’m here to help, but only when you’re ready.
