iSay and I had a conversation this past weekend about that small voice inside. I have a very hard time hearing that small voice sometimes, other times I hear it but don’t know whether to trust it. We talked about how in families where a child is brought up to never be allowed to feel what they feel or express their ideas or opinions, that the small voice can be silenced. I was one of those children. The silencing of my internal compass has gone on for a very long time. We’re working on my ability to hear and to heed what my small voice inside tells me. It is a long process of undoing years and years of voices louder than my own. But I think I’m getting there.  At least I’m listening much more carefully, compassionately and respectfully now.
