I am tentatively hopeful,
even though the prospect
of blinking nervously
in the unavoidable attention
scares me.
Again, I will have to tell my story,
except this time there is
so much more to tell.
How will that feel?
Will I again say too much
only to retreat from the shame.
Yes, "There is no judgement here"
but that will require
a heart load of trust,
and courage.

I just had an email conversation about this very thing with a 15 year old girl. I used to hide behind a huge and massive wall I'd built so noone would judge me. Only when I decided to tear that wall down did my life begin in earnest. Every time I have the occasion to tell my story I do the whole freak out thing. And every time it opens doors to healing - for me and for others. It is so worth it - especially for one 15 year old girl.
