Love Challenge:  Day 11

The Love and Acceptance Challenge is leading me into BEING.

I hit a pocket of fear and sadness. I realized that what I am missing is trust. Can it really be this good? Historically each time life has been this good something painful happens and I’ve allowed myself to be shut down.
