The greatest gifts I have ever gotten came from the lowest lows, problems and obstacles I've faced. From the ashes of downsizing, or a failed relationship or a loss of a dearly beloved pet, I was able to gather strength, develop new capacities and uncover talents I never thought I possessed.
Some have called this the silver lining in every cloud, but I think that diminishes the 'knock the teeth out of you' of the challenges and the potential for authentic transformation. The real transformation of who and what I am comes from leaning into the places I fear, regret, or want to avoid.
