“When people dislike some aspect of themselves, rather than changing it, they try to change others who exhibit the same trait.” Haemin Sunim, When things Don’t Go Your Way, page 183 (kindle)
I've reached the age when my identity has to do with what Erik Erikson termed generativity. In order to avoid self-absorption, I want to be giving to others. I have done this by teaching Spiritual Formation as well as Pastoral Care and Counseling at the Baptist Seminary of Kentucky. I'm also a Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Spiritually Informed Therapist and Co-Director of the Interfaith Counseling Center. My history is a moderate Baptist with a strong ecumenical and interfaith involvement and beliefs. I have a meaningful life with a good sense of health and happiness.
