## Resource

Overcome with tears, I find myself in public, sitting across from a manicurist, with little place to hide. Feelings of risk, uncertainty and overhwlem overtake me, and I do my best to navigate this very vulnerable proposition -- when strong emotions arise quite inconveniently. It takes everything I have to open myself to The Guest House of being human. To not explain myself. To not believe I am being embarrassing. To not apologize for this very human and authentic experience I am having. This is an example of inviting it all in without collapsing or closing.
