Last week was Demo Day, I held Tatum in the backyard while Nick and I watched an excavator move piles of splintered wood into a dumpster. “What did we do?” I asked. “I blame you,” he said.
I love every word of this piece!! I'm struck by the power of "this is where I am." It often takes guts to look another person in the eye and to say "hey, this is what I am. This is what I have to give. And guess what? I'm scared!" And scared is not the same as regretful. You are on quite a journey. Thank you!
Oh thank you!!! and yes, scared is not the same as regretful. I'm so much more comfortable being uncomfortable. Rather than trying to numb out or ignore my feelings I see my feelings as information.

Great post.
Knocking down stuff and starting again can be good. It can be a fresh start with older wisdom. You don't need anyone to tell you: You can do this.
Thank you! There is something very cleansing about starting fresh!
