Wow, Lisa, I could have highlighted the whole article! It resonated in a big way. Thank you for your brilliant description of this work that people like you and I are willing to do - the work of opening up our guts for all the world to see, and we do it to help others be more tolerant and understanding. We do it to help those who needs to know they're not alone. We do it to show people that there is a way out and through - and that we do heal.

And of course, there are those who need to belittle and attempt to be hurtful, just because they can. They are deeply wounded souls, and they're showing us their wounds. They're screaming for help and they don't even know it. And they'd reject it if it was offered.

Another exceptionally-written piece, Lisa, thank you for your deep sharing and your beautiful insights.
