Word I love… One word I love is authentic. It is defined as “not false or copied; genuine; real.” Another definition… “representing one’s true nature or beliefs; true to oneself or to the person identified.” In a world where everyone seems to want to look like, dress like, and act like everyone else, it’s refreshing…
