I think the thing that resonated the most with me was the saying "I am enough". It took me a loooooooooooong time to get to that point in my life. I struggle with it now and again, but not like I used to. It took a lot of self reflection (as opposed to infliction LOL). A LOT of being willing to be vulnerable to myself, never mind anyone else.
I also resonated with her "breakdown vs spiritual awakening". It sure felt like I was breaking down when I was learning to open up to being vulnerable. But as I look back on it, when I was finally in touch with my vulnerability, what developed was indeed a spiritual awakening. I just never really put words to it like she did. That part brought tears to my eyes.
I'm definitely going to look up her books....I'm sure they will be an eye opening read
 ya Michah!

Sabby,
"... being in touch with my vulnerability" - so, sure, we feel vulnerable and being open to vulnerability means being open to being hurt. I wonder how one can consciously be open to hurt. And hurt is not necessarily a passive experience. We must also know/learn how to respond appropriately. It just seems like a nice concept, a wonderful concept, but how does it play out in real life?
