Presenting An Integrated Self





"No matter how many people care about you, if you can't
be open with them about who you truly are,
you're still alone."
Diane Chamberlain


Enjoying a leisurely lunch with a friend, shared comments about how much our spiritual beliefs were noticeably different.  This fact did not impair our relationship as we were strongly connected, but she mentioned introducing me to someone whose beliefs ran parallel to mine.  

In time, our paths crossed again and she was accompanied by this fore mentioned friend, who happened to be a woman I had hired as a therapist for my program.  We were both startled to see each other and laughed out loud.

In time, we were to learn that both of us had hidden our spiritual wisdom from the work place in fear of being ridiculed or judged.  We had been working together for almost a year and neither one of us had shown our inner perspectives.  As we opened up to each other, we became kindred spirits.  From that point forward, I began to show my authentic self at all times ... oh my, how less stressful life became.
