This article is both moving and personal...SharRon,<br /><br />This article is both moving and personal for me. Particularly when you say, "... being vulnerable with someone and allowing someone to be vulnerable with you is an honor. It is sacred PRIVILEGE (caps added by me for emphasis) to stand with someone in their truth and in their spiritual and emotional nakedness. And the more we respect the sanctity of vulnerability, the less willing we are to violate, minimize and degrade it."<br /><br />I have always been direct in the way that I communicate, but that always came with limitations to how much ME I allow to show through. In the last few months, I am slowly allowing myself to be vulnerable to a couple of people who truly matter to me and speaking every bit of my truth, even when it sometimes hurts immensely to do so. You are SO correct when you say that these actions "increase[s] your self-confidence, self-respect and self-acceptance because you will no longer feel the need to hide from others or expect others to hide from you."<br /><br />I'd add only that when you are heard, validated and everything just keeps on moving along -- the fear of being vulnerable is lessoned.Perfekly Flawedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02431850789837556945noreply@blogger.com
