Gobsmacked
"Gobsmacked" is a British expression meaning "taken unawares or suddenly, and feeling wonder or astonishment." It also means "rendered speechless," as in "smacked" in the "gob" (British slang for mouth).
This summer I helped someone with a serious health crisis. It was a life-changing experience that left me gobsmacked. I am still deciding how to share what I learned about myself and others and life while respecting this person's privacy. In the meantime, I'll share other life lessons via the Tarot of Michelle.
