It’s Friday and time for Five Minute Friday again. Kate Motaung has prompted us with the word “Truth.” I could go so many ways with this, but right now there is only one I want to talk about. The Truth of who I am. I’ve written briefly on shame for the past week or so. […]
I feel like a fake! I’m a terrible mom!
Neil Armstrong felt like a fake. Imagine. While in a room full of artists and scientists, musicians and discoverers, he said to Neil Gaiman: “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here?
