This thread is me setting a limit for myself as I choose to get involved with the conflict thread...my choice.
One of the things that I have been working on this past year is anger, hostility as well as my hatred.
My heart was full of old victim anger and a victim mentality. But, I have grown, I can see it and that is all that matters. However, today I saw myself slip again and allow myself to get drawn into battle that was pointless and wrong. I'm not saying that my views were wrong I am just saying that is was wrong for me to battle.
Regardless of whatever my perceptions are I do not need to point things out...that is my self-defeating pattern that I am trying to break.
People are people - I refuse to hate.
Leah - I love you.
Ami - I love you.
Bill - I love you.
Lighter - I love you.
Izzy - I love you.
There.............. love is my choice and you can all think whatever you want about me, but love feels good and no one has to fit a mold for me to love them. People do not even have to like me, or care about me, they can disagree with me and they can think I am wrong... I still chose to love them. I can love because I want to...I can even love my enemies - now that is freedom!
Peace,
Lise

I admire your strength of mind and purpose and your goals, too.
Mostly I'm just thankful that we're able to live and learn.
Love,
