As usual, the thing I need to see is put in front of my face...I am working on this very thing right now. To get what you want, you have to give it...If we want real relationships, the kind that fill your heart, we need to open up which makes us vulnerable...I am finding it makes some people hug you closely, some people cry, and some people run...Opening ourselves to others, sharing our story's[lets admit it, we have some doozy's], without coming across as victims, allows others to do the same...Im finding this exercise a little scary and very very free-ing....I always thought vulnerability was a weakness...Now, I find it is a gift and a sign of strength and growth...Thank you Ann
