And so true. I know when I finally showed my face, people who had known me for years said I was glowing, they thought I was taller, they thought maybe I was a different person even. I was shy my entire adult life, and no more. Showing my "face" changed everything about me, it was like a writer finding his voice or a runner finding his pace. If you have time for some reading, check out C.S. Lewis' novel "Till We Have Faces," a novel I've read several times, about a woman who disguises her face her entire life . . . it makes her safe and powerful, and also very, very alone. It's an amazing story coming from a man who thought a lot about God and his interactions with man. Keep the faith. Keep reading. Keep loving. Whatever change you need to make, you'll figure it out. Nothing good comes easily. :)randy roberts pottshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482841315901238366noreply@blogger.com
