In my daily meditation for the day I came upon a profound quote in dealing with growth and transformation...

“We must embrace the absurd and go beyond everything we have ever known” - Janie Gustafson

Just saying that out loud is empowering: this  journey has been filed with absurdity for each of us - denial, trauma, cognitive dissonance in attempting to reconcile the past with the truth, the societal silencing of the straight spouse experience, etc., and then even in my experience the dissonance and absurdity  that my daughter is essentially exposed to lesbian culture 50%  of her childhood and how or if that will affect her view of men and relationships in adulthood. 

Just acknowledging that it is absurd, helps to face it and move on to decide what I’m going to do about it. 

To all here, I wish you the ability to accept the absurdity as you move on to a better life...

All the best,
