For our Top Two, Joy starts us off with a heated conversation about "nothing being spiritually neutral" and its implications, especially during this upcoming week of festivities. Spoiler alert: we had to agree to disagree to end this one--not all convos get tied up in a pretty bow here on As We Grow, and we're okay with that.
Second, Gretchen talked about the spiritual lessons she's taking away from reading Frankenstein. This is a challenging lesson for those of us who struggle with the temptation to control; i.e., the responsibility control produces is often what we don't expect and can't handle.
We're also chatting a little about Lift Gate and Guerrimo's exit from Dancing With the Stars week 5.
Grab a mug of hot apple cider, and be sure to let us know your thoughts on @aswegrowpod.
