(Karen) If I allow hokiness (in my emotional makeup that would be akin to buying into the "power of positive thinking" lock, stock and barrel) it may lead to cavalierness, patriotism,...
Like Hairdog, I've become too subtle.
Being in this area when I read "Inviting hokiness in my life" I thought, "Karen must have a new cabana boy who's a Virginia Tech grad." (For those who don't know, Virginia Tech's nickname is Hokies.) That could lead to inviting Cavalierness (Univ of Virginia) or Patriotism (George Mason University, about five minutes from where I work) into your life next.
Extending that theme, you may be in for some future Spiderishness, Tribalism and Colonialism. You could fall victim to Terrapinism but I don't imagine you staying in your shell for very long.
