Sharing ourselves


The first time I shared my personal story with a group of people I was trembling inside, secretly worried what others would think of me. There are parts of my life story that aren't pretty. Initially I felt raw, exposed, and ashamed. But taking the risk to be open and vulnerable gifted me with a new sense of freedom. Finding the courage to be authentic was no small miracle. I know I healed a lot of shame and fear that day, forever changing my life...
 
Share with me...
where you get the strength to get up when life knocks you down,
how the sorrow felt when you had to say goodbye to loved ones,
the ways your experiences from the past still rob of joy,
and the memories that still warm your heart.
