Oh good grief…!! This is breathtakingly honest, inviting, humble , beautiful, vulnerable… Thank you for sharing with us - those who have so much to learn in our own journey and are grateful to learn alongside you.

I am so glad my writing resonates with you! What a treasure it is to be walking this journey with others, each in our own time and way.

I loved it. I thought about it. THe sweater once it is gone to a pile, there you are in life, with nothing coving you but you. Exposed to us all. It can be carry. It's why I keep a blanket on hand. So when you need to protect and comfort, [metaphor] you can keep going. In other words, you have support and friends here who will help guide and protect. Won't let you stray to far but let you explore and find yourself. You got this. Never out of the fight.

Love the idea of surrounding myself in a blanket of community! Thanks for your comment. It does feel very exposing and vulnerable, but I'm so fortunate to be making this journey alongside so many others.

Thanks so much Beverly! I am one chapter away from finishing my first Brene Brown book: Rising Strong. I have been enjoying thinking about her research, anecdotes, and principles recently as I've been wrestling with my own identity, values, and emotions.
