Summary: You see the pic on instagram. A group of moms from your community enjoying a girls trip together. And, woosh. You are transported to your junior high self. All those rejection feelings resurface.<br> It isn’t just past and current rejection that sting. The fear of future rejection can keep you locked up and lonely.<br> If you and I could grab coffee, we’d share stories of being left out. Uninvited. And how those events left marks on our souls.<br> Rejection steals the best of who I am by reinforcing the worst of what’s been said to me. -Lysa TerKeurst<br> A few weeks ago, former podcast guests, <a href="http://www.themoatblog.com/">Kay Wyma</a> and <a href="http://courtneydefeo.com/">Courtney DeFeo</a> invited me to gather around Courtney’s kitchen table.
