I found this beautiful little yellow book called, The Velveteen Principles: A Guide to Becoming Real. It is based on the children's story the Velveteen Rabbit in which a child's stuffed rabbit becomes real once it's loved enough.
She contrasts being real with objectification - where we aspire to be perfect shiny objects so we will have value. The only problem is that there is no value in this because one's soul is always abandoned in pursuit of perfection.
This book tickles me... It is along the same lines as the "essentialization" definition I received in my sleep a couple weeks ago - shed layers of socialization and be yourself!

what a gift it is to be in the present moment and witness the seeds of joy, love, and harmony sprout before my eyes...enjoy your day you silly rabbit and if you haven't done it before...hang out at the airport, i had the best time having a dumb and dumber moment!! :)
Can't wait to read "The Velveteen Principles" it sounds like a wonderful book. I read the "Velveteen Rabit" to all my childrem and it was definitely one of my favorite children's books. To all parents please read this book to your children, it is good for children and parents alike.
