Personal Journey
Do you have a coming out story? A time when you have declared difference from your family, peer group or community? A moment when you have risked not belonging because part of you was screaming that you just could not stay quiet for one more second? Becoming our true selves is a perpetual coming out journey, and there can be gut-punching moments of revealing ourselves that shift the course of our lives forever. These are acts of bravery. While sometimes taken as declarations of war, our challenge is to maintain our inner peace, strength and resolve, even if our coming out creates discomfort for others. As we walk the path of spiritual growth, our belief systems are ever-evolving and push us to live our truth. And keep pushing us to step out of the spiritual closet.
