The inner lens through which we see ourselves is often cloudy, out of focus, and sometimes just plain broken.  Honest, reliable feedback is hard to come by; even more difficult is the appropriate response and processing of it.  Our internal dialogues often belie our outward appearance.  We are fragile creatures – may we find resilience… read more
