Thank you Dear Gurdeep for writing this. I loved how you described planting candles of hope in vulnerability’s darkness and how fear grows when avoided. The part about hearts crowded with troubling things that won’t be named felt so real.

Right now, I’m paddling through stormy waters too, but the bit of hope on my horizon and the dreams I get keep me going.

Dear Manu, thanks for your kind words. May you emerge from these stormy waters transformed and triumphant, carrying pearls of wisdom gathered from the depths.

I will definitely come back to this one to remind myself how to handle vulnerability with your wonderful words.

Hi, Gurdeep! Welcome back! Thank you for your article! Spoken like a good therapist! Are you a therapist? I’m looking forward to your first physical magazine to come in the mail soon. What an accomplishment you’ve done! Take care!

Yes Gurdeep without darkness there can’t be light, without sadness there can’t be joy, without hopelessness there can’t be hopefulness these opposing entities are necessary in order for us to truly enjoy each day as we awaken to greet the many ironies of life.
