“How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow?” 

~CG Jung

We all have a shadow side. The place in our character that's tarnished. It doesn't mean we are bad, or wrong, or broken. Our shadow usually holds the parts we struggle with. And, if we are bold enough to look at those parts without shaming ourselves, if we can invite the icky stuff out and understand what it's about........then we can become even more substantial.
