Hi Christy,

That must have been so difficult to hear  :(  .  I still squirm a bit when I think about the time several years ago when my oldest friend said she didn't want to share an apartment with me.  :oops: Ouch.


--- Quote ---It has taken many years of dismantling my own self-judgment to get to the point of deep compassion and understanding for others. I'm still doing more dismantling so as to be easier on myself. It's all a process, right?
--- End quote ---


Wow.  It's so comforting to know that someone else is doing this work, too.   :) It seems to get easier all the time, doesn't it?  Really tough in the beginning, but less guilt and more connection and joy as those successess build up?  :)

Thanks for sharing this, Christy  :)

Yes, Wildflower, you are right.  Every tiny connection point adds to the inner network that says "hey, that wasn't my true nature and I don't want to live like that".  It reminds me of the statement "Every arrow you shoot has to pass through you first".  

More freedom, more connection, allowing more of our true natures to show...this is about reclaiming ourselves and our right to be who we are.

I was puzzled when my fiance broke up with me all those years ago.  He made some statement like "well, naybe if you got some therapy" which also puzzled me.  No puzzlement now after I did do therapy and a heck of a lot of other things.  The judgment and criticism were pervasive.  Ugh.

Speaking of "ugh", I have to go get ready for work.  I have tons to say about the imposter syndrome (yes, yes, yes!) but it will have to wait.
