Our Greatest Spiritual Teachers...It's Not Who you Think

I am a student; a continual learner. For me, the journey of growth and evolution has no finish line.

I pay attention to the spiritual teachers that inspire me and challenge me to think about my journey and my work in a new way, such as Elizabeth Gilbert, Rob Bell, Elizabeth Lesser, Marianne Williamson, Byron Katie & Esther Hicks.

But if we want to know where to find the greatest spiritual teachers for our lives, we need look no further than our closest personal relationships.

Unlike traditional teachers who are there to impart wisdom, our closest relationships are there to expose all the parts of us that we don’t really want to own, to teach us about forgiveness and acceptance, to bring to light our beliefs about our ability to love and be loved.
