Who I am not:
A brand.
A gimmick.
A persona.
Someone who wants to woo you, to win you, simply for the numbers.
Someone who is in it for the fame and fortune
{Because you know how wealthy writers/bloggers tend to be…}
Who I am not…
I am not fake.
I am not phony.
I am not pretending.
I am not shy.
I am not dishonest.
I am most definitely not judgy {whatever, it IS a word}
Who I am:
To be clear…
I started because of my love for writing.
I continued because it felt good to be honest, to be raw, to be real….to be free.
I got hooked because you started to relate. You started to follow. You started to comment. You started to encourage.
And I knew that this place was just right.
I may never be offered the illustrious book deal, although it will always be a dream.
But, what could possibly mean more than that is this place I have created.
It is here that I get to be who I am.
I get to express myself in words, in fashion, in pictures and posing.
{oh, the posing.}
And there is always someone who gets it.
What you see here is who I am.
What you read here is my heart laid bare.
I promise that what you see is what you get.
What my friends and my family know me to be.
What God created me to be.
Who I am:
I am open.
I am honest.
I am real.
I am raw.
I am up,
I am down.
And it is here you will get to see it all.
I am on a journey, and here is the place you get to experience it with me.
Thank you….for experiencing it with me.

That was so pretty. I don’t mean that lightly. With that kind of writing, you’ll get that book deal someday.
This is a really fun ride…can’t wait to see what’s up next!
Nice! Simple and to the point!
And this is why I follow you and get excited when I see your name updated on my blogroll. Your honesty, your passion, your drive and your spirit – all so inspirational and sincere. You. Are. Awesome. xoxo
Lovely! I’m glad to be on this journey with you…ups and downs and POSING! 🙂
You are fabulous.
Miss you toooo…I hope you’re having a good week?!
heck yes woman! and you are LOVED! seriously i friggin heart you big time..you are such an awesome girl and wonderful inspiration! and i LOVE the posing…oh the posing!! 🙂
I enjoyed that, keep at the writing you never know! Stephen King threw away the book that started his career, don’t throw away the talent you seem to have 🙂
wooo hoooo!!! can i get an amen?
You forgot one…you are awesome! And, even though we didn’t get to meet in Vegas, I could see the awesomeness pouring offa you in waves, so I know it’s there!
Awesome!
This made me tear up a little. I love how real you are Summer and I don’t think anyone could ever accuse you of being anything else. You are an absolute doll sweetie, don’t ever change a thing.
Except for the book thing…never give up on that!
I LOVE it! Terribly refreshing, especially after my rant yesterday. Love you lady!
I LOVE this post! LOVE IT!
Summer – I LOVE it! And, it is so true. From the minute I ran into you at the Venetian, I knew you were in real life who you are on this blog. You are one incredible woman, and I feel so lucky to be able to call you my friend – and now I can call you a “real life” friend, too, instead of just a bloggy friend.
Thank you for being you and for your blog.
I like you…and the posing. Seriously I wish I was so brave and confident.
…and it’s for all those reason that we check back every day just to get a glimpse into your world. Rock on mama!!!
Hi!!! Haven’t been by in a while so I thought I’d stop by and check in as I’m getting a little more time these days ‘cuz the boy is in school.
I like your thoughts on this one … it is important to “keep it real” or the blog becomes something phony that people can smell from a mile off! : )
you rock. i mean, seriously. you. ROCK. love your blog, love your honesty, love how you love your family. you inspire me to write more often.
Hey! Thanks for stopping over from SITS. How cute are you?!?!? Great writing, your babe is darling and the poses. Fantastic 🙂 How fun for me to have a new friend on Wednesday. I think who you are is pretty cool

Just found you through SITS and although I have only read a few posts, I love your blog!

Great job! (But I’m still in it for the big bucks. Sorry.)
Excellent poem. It truly shows who you are and who you are not.
I am glad to be a part of the experience. You are welcome.
Wow we’re a lot alike you and I. It was fun to get to know a little about you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing “it” with us and for always keepin’ it real. I’m gonna be very disappointed if there isn’t a movie or book deal in your future. Maybe we could start our own series called Desperate Blogwives or Sex in The Blogcity.
I love your writing, love your honesty, and LOVE you! Keep it up!
Lovely and honest… just how I like it!
I LOVE this!

I, for one, am glad you’re you – whatever that entails.
