Many years ago I started my journey in self development. This has been a process for me that continues today and will, I’m guessing, until the day of my transition.
It was shortly after my decision to embark on this journey that I shared with a friend how there were painful issues from my past that I was wanting to revisit, gain clarity on and have closure with. I felt they were holding me back from life. My friend was really baffled and asked me why I would want to “open up a can of worms?” My reply was simple… I don’t want them on my shelf any longer!
It’s very easy for us to hide our feelings and needs instead of diving into them and seeing them as a gifts in disguise. You might be reading these words and feeling the same way my friend did years ago, and possibly saying…is Lauren nuts… a gift??? Clearing out my pantry of the cans of worms has taken courage, commitment and has been extremely healing… today was a no exception. I’m happy to report another one opened up and emptied!
I am grateful for the space that these experiences have created, for they have helped me become the friend, the mom, the sister and continued the unfolding of me.
