Best of Our Blogs: September 16, 2016

I didn’t know I wasn’t breathing fully until author Glennon Doyle Melton’s words allowed me to exhale. Her truthful words whether in her books, website Momastery or spoken on Super Soul Sunday, releases all of us from rules we abide by unconsciously. Rules that tell us we have to live a certain way. Rules and beliefs about who we are and how we should be break our spirit. Here are a few things she said on Super Soul Sunday that will change the way you view pain, addiction and crisis.

1. “I just think I was a sensitive kid. I think I figured out that addiction was a place to hide. It was a hiding place.”
2. “I no longer think that I’m a mess. I just think I’m a deeply feeling person in a messy world.”
3. “…what crisis means literally is to sift…It comes into my life and I have to watch everything fall away that I thought that I needed so I can find out what’s left over.”
