Art--thanks for all your thoughtful and insightful comments. What makes me enjoy writing is the ability to document the insights and lessons I have learned along the way. It provides me a space to notice (and reflect on) the everyday wisdom that all of us encounter on a regular basis (if we take the time to look for it). I aspire for each of my articles to serve as a sort of mile marker for other travelers through life who experience similar situations. My hope is the articles help them benefit (even if only some small way) from my journey. I enjoyed reading your article: "How to Stop Believing there is Something Wrong With You." It reminds me of something similar I wrote in this genre: The Extraordinary Power of Ordinary Thoughts (https://medium.com/swlh/the-extraordinary-power-of-ordinary-thoughts-538296d4ac62). Thanks again for sharing!
