Poignant and “authentic”

I’m loosing my grip and not “black knuckling” a LOT of things and issues. For example, I have chosen to exchange the ever popular phrase “my truth” for a more accurate word such as experience. I too don’t get someone who feels that they are in the incorrect body, however I am also aware that they are afforded their personal opportunity to express themselves however they deem necessary. Furthermore, God ALONE is the one to offer another alternative and solution to the issue as that’s FAR above my pay grade (if you will) and goes way “deeper than I think.”
In closing, I have chosen to listen to the audiobook by Victor Frankl titled “Man’s Search For Meaning” and I’m realizing that we (along with a Higher Power) are capable of withstanding reality tough circumstances.

Thank you!

I’m listening to you here in Maine. Just finished listening to your interview with Brian Sanders and it was so good. Supports and inspires everything I believe. Nathan, you give me hope that we are already winning and changing the world for the better. That many, many people are waking up to the reality that the world and each of us needs to be a part of the change. I love how positive and non judgmental you are, while sharing radical new and old ideas.
Just sent $7 to help keep this podcast going.
Thanks for your courage.
