Georgia, what a POWERFUL post.  Values and aspirations are nothing without the actions and behaviors that back them up.  And thinking for ourselves is so needed. I love the way you describe your independent spirit.  "I don’t really care where ideas come from as much as I want to know how they contribute to creating the world I would like to see."

I'm going to work on my top 10, but I *can* answer your final question right now.  In a way, our posts  this week go sort of hand in hand.  I practice/lead my independence of thought by holding myself and those around me to a higher standard of interaction, on a human level, even when it is unpopular or uncomfortable.

Thank you for inspiring me to articulate that.
