102 | A Quiet Place

I have chosen peace and quiet. I lived in two worlds for most of my life. One was a world where I let others see what I wanted them to see, and the other was a world where I kept people from the broken, damaged, unlovable me. And, in those two different worlds, I wasn’t aware that I was struggling with quiet, stillness, and peace. While I craved stillness and peace, the dark quiet of the night had been a trigger for me. But, today, I welcome quiet.

In this episode, I share how I straddled between two different worlds for a vast majority of my life and discuss my struggles with peace and quiet. I also describe how I have chosen peace—despite my struggles with it—after the recent passing of my mother.

“The dark, quiet nighttime had been a trigger for me. Here’s the thing: since the passing of my mother, I have chosen quiet, I have chosen stillness, I have chosen peace.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker

“Quiet, stillness, and peace feel like the best, warmest, longest, most welcoming hugs that I craved then and welcome now. Nothingness is everything right now—peace is essential.” - Karen Goldfinger Baker
