"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
C.S. Lewis

A few weeks ago, I was at a residency for my master's program. I am in a cohort with five other individuals. Part of our time together is an intentional sharing what is happening in our lives. We shared deeply with each other...our fears, our sins, our joys.

What we discovered is that we are much more alike than we are different. We are not alone in our 'stuff'. Everyone has stuff - we just usually don't talk about it with each other.

But, once you do, you will notice how much less powerful that stuff seems to be. Take the risk....talk about what is going on. Be honest and notice how freeing it can be.

Grace and peace,
