sharing our stories

Aug

have you shared your story lately?

in front of a crowd?

one on one with a friend?

on paper… or on a blog?

even facebook or twitter?

today i was reminded of the power of sharing our stories.

the connection we feel when we share a part of ourselves, the deep part we normally keep to ourselves, with another human being.

the healing that happens when we say our words out loud.

or write them down.

and the way those same words help others.

give strength.

and hope.

we can’t always seek out the moments – they seem to find us at the most unsuspecting times.

and like a tug on our hearts, they call…

share.

this is why we need girlfriends.

and therapists, too.

this is why i write.

and why i miss it so terribly when i neglect it.

clickity

click.

exhale.
