When I decided to come out from hiding, there was a bright light and a wash of colors, which made me wonder what took so long.

Hiding from self is an outgrowth of fear and since fear begets death, I chose to stop hiding several years ago….the action followed the thought in time and now…

How can we grow when NO is a major guiding principal handed down by elders….I just wished they had called it discernment, so I could have not had to do so much digging to uproot my buried soul.
