What an UPPER.

Gosh, I'm glad you posted in my anniversary thread--maybe you left a little bit of magic fairy-dust there.

Kidding--this was more than just good luck. It was walking forward with faith.

You made my day--heck, you made my MONTH. Congrats!

It's a next morning in my part of the world, and I just had to read your post again while having my morning coffee.
It just puts me in a such a good mood, as i'm writing this I'm staring at your signature and those bunnies shaking their behinds, and I'm thinking Life is so good when we decide to let it happen.
Your inital post is like a song, especially since you always write that way, not like the text, so it has a great rythm to it:
da, da, da, da, da, da, approved,
da, da, da, da, da, da, approved,
da, da, da, da, da, da, approved,
da, da, da, da, da, da, approved,

I love her writing style and have really missed it.
But you got the same feel I do.

Totally awesome!

What an inspiring post!

It really made my day.

Note to everyone reading this, I saw this quote this week and it seems rather fitting for the occasion...

" Everyday physically do something about your dreams"

OK, everyone..you have just been given your marching orders!

Still Waters,
Once you are clear from this mess, it will come back.
I am thinking of you, and when my dream comes true, you can come and visit me on my small hobby farm with many different kinds of chickens, ducks and maybe geese! Sebastopols!
I think I might draw the line at alpacas though.

This thread has been inspiring to me too. What an incredible story, Barb.

For two days, "do the next right thing" has popped into my head a dozen times. And I keep thinking, "nothing changes if nothing changes."

I've always had dreams...until lately. I lost some of who I was in the two years I spent in an unhealthy relationship. I want "me" back. I need me and my daughters need me. My students need and deserve the real me, too.

Thanks to your marching orders, I physically sat down and wrote a list of my dreams a few minutes ago. Thanks, Groybin. Feels good to look at them on paper. It felt good to think about dreaming for myself again.

The next step is to put some plans into action.

Way to go Healingwill come!

Listen, if any of you are struggling with taking the first step in making the life you want, please refer to Melody Beatties "Codependent no more".
She wrote a chapter about goal setting: how almost every need, every want, every problem can be turned into a goal.

It is a real positive way of making changes in your life... it's worth a try!

I had a copy of Melody's book after my divorce from XAH 11 years ago. Read it, used it, healed because of it, and then gave it to my neighbor a few years ago when her sister needed it! Never imagined I'd need it again! Whew....who knew.

It's going to take some time to work through my grief from leaving XABF. It has been holding me back from finding myself again. I was SO HAPPY being me right before I met him. I was in such a great place, with lots of anticipation of the good things in my future. Can't wait to be there again. Thanks for the suggestion and the encouragement.

I am totally in agreement with you... I want the "real me" back too!

Thank you for reminding me today.

Hugs!

In Yoga what happened is called "being in the flow" ...When everything is easy and unfolds as it should instead of us fighting like salmon to swim upstream..I want back in the flow!!!!
