I love your question and I on a similar journey. It is not an easy one for me, but I have discovered lately that I love my ability to write and communicate with others. I also love my adventurous spirit. Tomorrow, I am going rock climbing for the first time! I can’t wait.
I am starting a blog to connect with others who are on the same journey of self compassion and love. Please follow me if you can:
