Dearest Finality,
I learned the lesson (again!) this past week about putting voice to my feelings. I found myself in a very negative situation for several days and had to deal with some very unkind people. By Friday I was exhausted in every way and trembling with emotions, not all of which I was proud to have. I called my mother and told her I was an emotional wreck and needed to talk about what had happened and gain some perspective. Feeling free to voice my feelings in their raw, sometimes not very pretty, state was so healing for me. My mother instinctively knew I needed this release and allowed me that safe space to feel what I felt...and then offered the kind of loving counsel that sometimes only a mother can give. It was a beautiful experience.
I just wanted to share, since it's a theme similar to what you shared. And to also share that my mother and I have had our share of hard times and somehow we've made it through to this wonderful place...such a blessing.
Lesley
