Yes and amen, what you have so eloquently said resonates on many levels. Thank you for the reminder of the light, of Kingdom mindset (talk about radical!) and that my hard work in therapy hasn't "worn off" (you should see my foot stamping!), it's ok and good to face the things with help, now to set up that appt I've been wrestling to do for months . . .

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! And no, that therapy is hard work and the results are hard won. Even when we need a "tune up", it doesn't negate the work that you've already put in!

I so needed to hear this. I too have been off roading for better or worse. Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel better knowing I’m not alone. And your writing is beautiful and so poignant.

You are most certainly not alone, and sometimes the best thing we can do is just hold on tight and keep moving forward. Thank you for your encouragement!

This is so perfectly stated. I am struggling too. It’s so disheartening to see where we are, and how we treat humans around us. I can’t even comprehend the evil, hateful things that are happening around the world, but to have someone so evil in our own country tearing it apart, devaluing everyone but the most privileged is mental torture as someone who tries to be loving. I am always here for you! I love you.

Unfortunately, the squeaky wheels get the grease. But we can choose to look for and be more - more open, more kind, more loving. It's always a choice! love you.
