I have just DEVOURED Out of the Fog: Moving From Confusion to Clarity After Narcissistic Abuse.

Kate and I have been talking a lot about the lie of *READY*.
Personally, I've never felt ready for any leap in my life... I've just felt a tug and leaned in.

I woke up to two texts this morning from men in my life:
One from my friend Matt that was a link to Pink's song Trustfall
