Redemption

I want to share a video set with you I recently watched. In it, I found another layer of freedom. The interview was done on the Shawn Ryan Show with Victor Marx. It’s in three parts on YouTube. I believe that you can find Shawn Ryan’s podcast in other places as well. I will say that …

What a Healing Path Looks Like

When you are in the healing process, there may be times that the progress that you have made can look like it disappeared. This is not true.   Anxiety sneaks in and takes your breath away. Sadness comes in a moment and tells you that it’s going to stay. Identity lies can trickle back in and …
