How Guilt Led To A Divorce
For the next days, we are to going to look at the destructive nature of guilt and shame. As an introduction, I want to share a story about Caitlin that I shared in my book, Awakening To I Am Love.

Nothing in the human experience is more universal than failure. The ways we fail vary, and some of our slip-ups are more serious than others. But almost every day, and often many times throughout the day, we make mistakes.

At 40,000 Feet Above Ground
About 30 minutes later, I arrived by the gate. As the flight was boarding, I suddenly heard my name called to go to the gate desk. Approaching the counter, the woman working the desk handed me a new boarding pass in the Premier Business Class section. Moments later, I’m enjoying a flatbed seat without paying anything extra or using any of my frequent flier points.
Flight To Los Angeles
One time, I was scheduled on a flight from Europe to Los Angeles. Arriving early at the airport, I asked the check-in staff if I could use my points to upgrade to a flatbed seat in Premier Business Class. The representative assured me that it was possible, but I would need to visit the sales office in another section of the airport. So I went there and was yet again referred to another sales office on the gate side of the terminal.
