When one candle lights another, it doesn't lose any of its power, in fact power is intensified~ Unknown
This week I've invited guest blogger, Patricia Haley to share her beautiful take on what Collateral Damage really means to her. This post is taken directly from an entry she shared with us on Facebook 9/12/14 and is reproduced with her permission.

Collateral damage is unintended damage caused by a particular operative or action. Although generally utilized in military activities, it can also be used metaphorically with personal transformation.
When we realize our footsteps are ordered and are compelled to discard the layers that have been building up through our lives, there will be collateral damage. We will lose some or most of what we've known to gain clarity and perspective. That very well could mean: A fixed way of being, friends, possessions, and other things which may fall by the wayside. I'm not speaking about turning inward and being disconnected to others; in fact, the more you understand your connection to the human condition, your projectile should point outward.
Keep in mind this is not a classist statement...
