The importance of having a support group or various people who support you in different aspects of your life. I didn't do this on my own, I had to seek out support too and am glad I did.

Getting some perspective that's long overdue regarding unhealthy habits, and getting some feedback regarding those divine moments I mentioned.

Knowing the right word for why we shut down and why we feel a lost sense of self, that's half the battle.

Recently reached out for guidance through a prayer request to understand two divine moments from a couple of years ago. I talk about what happened and how I haven't really understood what to think about them. Both situations related to the men I wrote my history papers on; Barton W. Stone and Elihu Wolcott.
