Shame and blame go hand in hand.
If we're quick to point the finger at someone else,
be certain that shame is lurking in the corner.
To heal shame, we have to expose it.
Being secretive about it only adds to the problem.
When we tell our shame story to someone trustworthy,
the shame begins to heal.
Sharing our shame isn't comfortable,
but enduring a few moments of being uncomfortable is
far better the a life sentence of unworthiness.
