Thank you so much for sharing your experience with this Ann, and does it resonate with me! I have the same questions!

As for age, there is no shame. I think this is a human struggle that never ends (we’ll always have this egoic attachment!)

I think awareness is most the important thing however which you obviously have! I don’t see anything wrong with sharing something that means something to us that we feel can benefit someone - even if our pesky Ego likes the potential of some sort of validation. Especially when asked directly for assistance :)
