Spirituality

This is one of my main topics because my spiritual journey is a central focus of my life. I am known for writing authentically, vulnerably, and courageously about difficult topics in a heart-felt manner. This is the primary way I share my wisdom. I share honestly about my growth challenges and how they help me evolve. My focus is on reflections related to my inner life of spirit.

In Good Company

December 3, 2019 by Linda A Marshall 8 Comments

Despite all the healing work I’ve done on myself, a sense of inferiority clings to me and sometimes gets in the way. It is part of the legacy of toxic shame I have not completely shed, not to mention all the cultural messages we get about what it means to be successful. You see, I […]
