If there is a pose that best communicates my gratitude for everyone’s comments/advice/opinions/wisdom to my last IG post—it’s this. Your advice has helped to reframe the issue in my mind and find a solution that’s better than I imagined. 🙏 My take away is that I can and should continue this work because it is, in fact, firmly aligned with my personal truth and my higher self. Just because people are limited in their powers of perception does not mean that I should reduce myself to fit within their framework. To do so, would be to set a truly heart-breaking example for my child. At the same time, I do not want to teach my daughter to lie; Therefore, I must find a way to be honest without full disclosure. ....But isn’t a lack of transparency a form of dishonesty?? That’s a very idealist question, which is probably irritating to the realists reading this post. I’m trying to rationalize this. Living in integrity is of great importance to me. Help??
