OMG!! I can't thank you enough for speaking to this Carrie!! I was literally bumping up against it myself this week, HARD, and it did not feel good. You inspire me to choose honesty and forgiveness over protecting whatever self-image I've made up.
The thing I love about your writing, Carrie, is how easy it is to read and how honest you are. I have been trying to follow spiritual teachers most of my life (I am now almost 70), but they always make me feel like I am too dumb to understand what they are trying to teach because for whatever reason I still don't feel "enlightened." With you, I don't feel like there is some kind of gimmick I need to learn that will flip the switch. We are all on the same path, just trying to make sense of it all and hope to find our way home. Keep doing what you do... it is so refreshing!

Yeah, that pesky self image. The source of so much mischief! :-)

Thanks Deb! Glad to be sharing the same road with you. x
