Overwhelmed at the garden center? What a luxury! There are people with real problems in the world! Well, that’s true. What is also true is we can’t move through what we refuse to acknowledge. And usually, the small things are simply arrows pointing to some bigger things. Shame in the garden center is evidence of shame in other areas as well. If my knee-jerk reaction to a simple decision like picking out plants is shame and feeling overcome, then can you imagine what my knee-jerk reaction must be in areas of life that really matter and have consequence?
