It means so much that as I have opened up my life to more possibility that even more amazing people have stepped up to take part in life with me.<br /><br />For that I am endlessly grateful.<br /><br />Sending you all love.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17584248569655542892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-54243097462123498312012-09-28T09:19:53.250-06:002012-09-28T09:19:53.250-06:00A mutual friend linked to this blog post.

Hearing how great things have been for you since you left 5 years ago is just what I needed to hear. Trying to find my authentic self under all the years of Mormon conditioning has been a challenge. Allowing my authentic self to shine in spite of disapproving friends and family has been even harder. I hope in another year's time I will be braver and feel less Mormon guilt :) But I am glad to see it has turned out really well for you.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924653481681222842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6525843025917283414.post-90296916243080267702012-09-27T19:27:02.928-06:002012-09-27T19:27:02.928-06:00Thank you Darcy.

It continues to follow me at times (the missionaries did in fact show up on my new Ohio front door "randomly" this week). It shows up more now that I have children whose salvation is believed to be at risk. I believe in a God that is kind, loving, inclusive and fair. I try to be good, live my life as guilt free as possible, and drink lots and lots of coffee to make up for those lost years. I applaud you for your authenticity and your boldness.
