It was a fantastic call and I love the acronym, Bev. Easy to remember and so helpful.

Wonderful, Jane. Just beautiful.

Love it, Tami. I can relate. So beautiful!

It is beautiful, Tami. Thank you for your share.

I love that you put “conflict” in there Tami. I’m working on connecting through conflict.

This is great. Thank you.

I hear you, Jane. I can feel when I have been disconnected as well.

Thank you all for your shares on the last call. Wow! It was wonderful. Here are my thoughts from the call:
Bev, I love what you said at the beginning about choosing to love ourselves and not go down the rabbit hole of judgment, shame, and unworthiness. YES! That’s how I felt at my interview. One of the people interviewing me was someone who…[Read more]

The need for acceptance. The need for people to think highly of me or to always see me in a positive light. I am at peace with my flaws.

I had a job interview this morning. It’s for a teacher assistant position at our high school. I feel like it went well. I haven’t been on a job interview in 14 years, so it was great to put myself out there again. I maintained my confidence throughout the interview. It felt at times like they were testing me a bit to see if I would lose a bit…[Read more]

I totally agree. I’ve been in the “it’s okay not to be okay” place for awhile, but I have family members and coworkers who are fighting it and me over the way I choose to live. Their response to everything is “it’s GREAT, it’s WONDERFUL” pretty much all day long…lol. I just keep saying I love them and accept them and their choices, but I’…[Read more]

Love this so much, Tami.

Sending you love and a virtual hug if you would like one. Grief seems to stop us all right in our tracks, doesn’t it? It definitely has it’s own timetable. Supporting you and holding a space for you, Bev.
-
Thank you so much! It feels good to have a place to come and just say that things aren’t okay all the time. I’m okay with not being okay. Yet people around me fight. It’s such a weird thing to “help” other people and then witness how you can’t help some of those closest to you.
-
You have had a week of pouring out, may you be filled back up in the days to come.

Exactly, Tami. You stated it perfectly. That’s how I feel. As a child, I have disappointments also, but I don’t put those on my parents. I know my happiness is my responsibility, and I respect them and their choices and values, even though they do not align with my own. For me, this has involved deep grief, but has also brought tremendous gro…[Read more]
-
I do too. I was just crying this morning as I was writing my morning pages. The longest relationship in this world that I will have is with myself and its about high time that I honor that. That includes letting myself cry and knowing what is behind the tears, so I can release them. You state it so beautifully, it is Okay because those feelings…[Read more]

I was listening to a podcast today entitled “Conscious Capitalism,” and the man speaking in the podcast mentioned that his mother would always let him know how disappointed she was in him that he did not pursue his college degree and instead pursued a job at Whole Foods to follow his passion of starting a co-op. He said he knew his mother tho…[Read more]

Was he happy that he pursued the his passion to start a co-op? I am trying to understand the “pride” part. This reminds me of wearing the cloak of a parent. Not what the child wants but what the parent wants. Patriarchy comes to mind. Not in the sense of male/female but a disconnect from self, emotions, nature and voice. When I worked at my kids…[Read more]

Hi everyone…just a shout out to all of you to say thank you for making this a safe, non-judgment free zone for us to share our process. Unfortunately, it seems very hard to find these days, but I appreciate so much that I can find it here. It’s so very important!
-
Couldn’t agree more. Truly a gift in this season of my life. Scary and exciting, death and rebirth, unknown and known. All of it. Glad to be in the circle of compassion with you, Karen.

You are so welcome. And thank you for help shaping this space.

So incredible Karen! Yes girl! The bluejay is my bird too! We have these amazing bluejays in the backyard. We have have tons of birdfeeders and the birds come!
