\"Susan<\/a>

Another versioin<\/p><\/div>\n

I just changed my FB, Twitter, and blog photo at the urging of several people who are more \u201chip\u201d than I am. This has prompted me to ponder who I really am. My values and personality have stayed pretty consistent over the long haul, but I\u2019m talking more about the superficial way that I present myself to others and how I feel about myself as a person. Letting go of my more formal photo is a way to remind myself that I am more than my work. (I decided to keep the formal picture for website and PR purposes).<\/p>\n

By personality I am a very task oriented, responsible person. I don\u2019t want to change this, but I DO want to become more attuned to paying attention to the person in front of me, be it my spouse, children, the store clerk, or the people I pass on the street. I want to show others the warmth that is in my heart for them and really listen to their needs more closely. I\u2019m hoping that letting go of my older photo will help remind me of this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also thinking about the dynamic of aging. My formal photo was taken almost 10 years ago, but people have recently been telling me I look younger than my photo. At my age that\u2019s a compliment. Maybe people are just being kind, maybe it\u2019s the different hairstyle, or maybe I\u2019m a Benjamin Button<\/a>. Regardless, I\u2019m trying to think modern, learn new things (like Twitter, follow me @Vogt_Susan<\/a> or my new Facebook group, Living Lightly<\/a>), while holding on to the deepest values of love, faith, and community that make me who I am.<\/p>\n

How have YOU been changing?<\/p>\n
