Thank you Leena for sharing your letter, your truth, your reframes. Here's to Re-authoring our stories to our preferred narrative, which is one of my favorite Narrative Therapy Practices to unpack and explore through curious questions wrapped in compassion. 🙏 I love how Narrative Therapy invites us to acknowledge the many layers of external influences which impact our view of self, others, the world; messages from our families of origin, cultural/societal and gender norms, external expectations, religion and the structures we live in all shape our identities and beliefs. The good news: these are all constructs which can be revised! Re-authored! Thanks again, I've saved your letter to further ponder what I wish my own next life chapter at 58 to look like after a lifetime of service. With gratitude, Kristin
