Fighting shame with selfishness
Guestpost alert!
I’ve written a few hundred words for sweet Kate Love over at her homeTruth Freedom Love for her February series on falling in love with yourself. And of course, I wrote about how to use self-ishness to overcome shame.
Here’s a little teaser:

Write Against the Machine: Don’t worry, we’re from the internet!

And rather than just letting the year pass willy-nilly, I’ve decided to take the year as a chance to both seek experiences that I’ve missed out on, as well as prepare myself for this new stage of life. Thirty goals for thirty years. [Note: I've cheated slightly. The first entries are my 12 New Things list.]
