The Whole Outlier

You are not a brain in a jar.

You are not just what you do well.

You are not a single note, a fancy trick, a freak show.

You are a human with a body, mind, heart, and spirit.

You may have relied on your strengths to get you through life so far:  not having to study, being able to excel in sports or art or music, relying on that one (or more) shining talent or ability to establish your worth and your place in the world to the detriment of the rest of you.

It is time to change that.

It is time to strengthen your weaknesses.

It is time to hone your strengths.

It is time to strengthen your hands for work, your heart for relationships, your spirit for faith, and your feet for willingness to move.

It is time to become the full measure of the person you were meant to be.

We get you.  We know the challenges of being the smartest person in the room or the only one who can hear the complexities of the music or wondering if you are really that smart or really that dumb.

We get your overexcitabilities, your frustrations.

We are not afraid or jealous of your successes, your achievements.

You are welcome to chill out and be yourself here.

You looked for a place to belong.  You just found it.
