strong & silent
Posted in fear, growth, lessons, searching on April 9, 2012 | 1 Comment »
I’ve never really pegged myself as the strong & silent type before. & yet, wearing my heart on my sleeve isn’t really my thing either. However, it occurred to me this weekend that perhaps my silence is more pronounced & destructive than I realize. You see, this past month has not been easy. Oh yes, there were some really [...]
