I just wanted to give you guys an update. I put your helpful advice to use and the meeting went off great. I felt totally relaxed and alive when I was sharing, a few things came out that surprised me, but it was wonderful. At no time was I thinking of what to say or trying to impress, which was exactly what I had prayed for.
Ego still, of course, reared her ugly head when my friend spoke and the women in the meeting seemed to connect more with her than me. I just have to laugh at myself there.
Everyone was so appreciative and I was really impressed at the sincerity and humour of the ladies in this group, I feel like they gave me a lot more than I gave them. I wanted to stay and hang out with them after the meeting. I will be doing H&I work again and telling folks in my home group about it.
