Pinatas: You don't beat them, although that is what it appears. Some are just hard-headed and need some less then gentle prodding. The outer shell is just there to protect them until the right moment, the right person, figures out how to release all that inner goodness.

In further pondering on the pinata I realized that I am both the container that is being whacked...and the colorfully dressed and carefully blindfolded girl who is weilding the big ass stick.
No one needs to recognize and release my gifts but me. It won't take someone on the outside pointing them out. It takes me deciding what I value most about myself and finding others to hang out with who see and value those same things. That's what being kindred spirits is all about. I'm fortunate to be surrounded by many wonderful spirits who dig me just the way I am...even when I'm beating myself up with a big ol' stick. Oh happy day!
