Learning and Growing

I have been learning about myself, growing in my understanding of not only myself but also about other people and dealing with differing viewpoints.

I have so much that I want to write about and share that I get overwhelmed and end up not writing anything. I am working on some blogs about mental health and about childhood trauma. I am digging deep into what I call my “knee-jerk” reactions of judgement, disgust and rejection.

One of the main things I have grown to really understand is that going back and finding out why I have these reactions is not about looking for excuses or living in the past. It is about understanding where they came from and letting go of old ideas that no longer serve me and no longer fit in with my beliefs about people and humanity today. It is about freeing myself of misguided and untrue ideas embedded in me during my early childhood.

I wanted to send out this quick message to let people know that I am still here, still learning and still wanting to share.
