Alright miss mouse! Just one step at a time, it's all you need do. And if there is a critic sitting on your shoulder nattering at you just tell them to get lost and let you play with your idea. I think we shoot ourselves down before we even get to the runway sometimes - I don't know if that metaphor worked but...it worked for me! So glad you are taking a few steps, starting with what you have. Good place to begin, right there, with your client's house and yours.
I may have mentioned that a friend of mine began that way too she happily putters away at it when time and energy permit.
I have a couple of business ideas too. Maybe I'll dust them off and take them out for a little show and tell. Speaking of show and tell school doesn't begin again up here until Sept. 7 and we may be on strike shortly thereafter so a little business on the side wouldn't hurt. I think i overwhelm myself with the to do list and' the what if' possibilities and
I coudn't possibly scenarios.
Hooray! for taking a chance, taking a step!
"my story." It fits into 5 or 6 paragraphs. What doesn't fit and what I would have told Somebody if I'd been able to is that no matter what the perp. did, the effect on her child started from that day and will be long lasting. It's not a one time event as she characterized it- the trust was broken, security - broken, peace of mind - shattered... fear in first place. And her child had to worry for years about the next child in line. I don't think Somebody got that - everything changed after the event, whatever it was, for the dark, miserable, repressed worse. I only just REALLY got it and I've lived with it all these years not really truly knowing what the hell was going on with me.
Reading some of the posts on "covert incest" taught me that the on -going sexually charged, boundary crashing atmosphere can do so much damage. A woman who had been raped and also "covertly' abused by her parents was relieved to finally understand this additional terrible emotional burden. Anyway it looks like Somebody is gone and I certainly don't want to stir the swamp and see her bubble up to the surface again. If perchance you read this Somebody just learn and be quiet.
Shopping tomorrow with NM. I am getting a little big in the britches here and who knows what will come out. I'm so tired of it all but not sure confrontation is the way to go at this point. Red alert as they on Star Trek - got mixed up with my Code Red and Red Alert.
So keep me posted!
