I have to tell you that this actually might be the most favorite article I have written! Why? Because I wrote this about a month ago and sent it to the publisher and began pondering and getting excited about the next one…it's moments in life that just happen and whispers to me what to write about and I was ready to feel it and know what it would be! However, this election has gotten the best of me…and.. the worst of me…in my heart, I thought I had stayed pretty balanced towards those with opposing opinions….but recently I was challenged…and failed to see the beauty under the layers of others…I failed to see my own chipped paint and rust. It hurt my heart when I recognized how closed my own gate had been but at the same time gave me joy over knowing that I wrote truth that we find in all of us… that there is so much beauty within each one of us when we look beyond the old rusty gate, including our own. Would love to hear your thoughts and if you related to this.
