Looking forward to hearing more. Revealing secrets and releasing shame are so freeing but we the fear of being rejected by what we share is enormous. But that rejection usually doesn't happen. It allows others to share their own secrets.
Thanks, Jane. So true that the anticipation of the "dreaded response" is usually far worse than the actual outcome. And you're right that once someone speaks up, it encourages other to do the same. And then we find that we have more in common than we thought too.

Revealing secrets, stirring up multiple emotions, and teaching us a few things along the way? This post has everything, Shelley!
