Trust

September 15, 2020 by Linda A Marshall 10 Comments

Trust Lacking It took me a long time to trust that I knew more than I thought I did. I vividly remember the first time I became aware of receiving a message from the still small voice of wisdom within me. I was young … twenty-four … and I didn’t fit in with my peers. […]

Wisdom to Guide Me in Times Like These

It has been awhile since I have written here. Something in me senses that our pandemic is here to teach us an important lesson if we are open to learning it. And so, I have been spending time with thought leaders who have greater wisdom than I possess. I do that through reading and podcasts. […]
