It was good to see you at the LTUE conference, can’t wait til your book comes out (even though I’m going to HAVE to wait, since it’s like a year away)

Per your comment about the petition and the protester, truth can be a painful thing to commit to. Often we choose flexibility in order to avoid discomfort–which can be excruciating–until the pain of flexibility overcomes that caused by dedication to truth. We often hear the inspiring stories about being dedicated to truth, how in time the person was praised or found greater joy in their ‘truth’ than in whatever comforts they exchanged for it. However, there are many sad stories of people who embraced their ‘truth’ to the loss of all other good and never received the ‘pay off’. I wonder, sometimes, how much truth leads to misery, either through being committed to it or not embracing it. I look forward to a future existence where we better understand our ‘truth’ and the role it plays in our lives, both earthly and otherwise. I do, however, wish you the very best in your journey to truth, may you find the joy and security of embracing whatever is in your soul.

The above post totally sounded like bot spam, so I need to clarify that I’m not a bot or one of those wannabe “networkers” who posts meaningless stuff on other people’s blogs in order to get reciprocal traffic or whatever. I just didn’t have anything else to say.

Seriously, I do love your posts. Part of my wishes you’d blog more often because your posts are so refreshing and insightful, but another part of me realizes that maybe if you were trying to churn out three posts a week then a) you might not have as much time to write and b) might not be able to write such good posts. So, I guess I’ll be content with what I get.

I’m glad you can’t see me crying. I hope you cherish every one of those steps through the crisp snow. What an adventure! And thanks for reminding me that I’ve already made it farther than my voices wanted me to.

So True!!!! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!!!! I heard a quote that Michael Jordan said, he said, “I am not competing with somebody else, I am competing with what I am capable of.”

I am so glad you posted about inner voices!!
