Day 167 - Go there

This blog is a blessing to me in so many ways. It is an outlet for all of my feelings and emotions, it gives me a voice to reach others, it has matured my faith and it has opened up my life to new relationships and strengthened existing ones. How amazing for me. You have no idea how lucky I feel. While I let you into my life, many of you have in turn let me into yours, even if it's not bright and shiny. You have shared your heart with me and trusted me enough to share some deeply personal issues. It proves that sometimes when we open ourselves up and go to a place of being vulnerable and honest that the reward can be a human connection. That is a real gift. I imagine this is the way God created us to be. So I am urging you to open up. Find a place that is safe for you and people whom you trust and be honest with them. Let down your guard and be real. What can come from that place of honesty can define and change your own life, even if you are living in a place that seems to cater to the socially affluent like me. A place where most of the things we see and the people we watch are just an illusion for a happy life. But, breaking away from being a part of that illusion is like freedom; you just have to take yourself there. I am so glad I did because it brought me you.
