Come in - Let's Talk About That-
" Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.
And if you can't help them,
at least don't hurt them. "
Dalai Lama
" Most cynics are really crushed romantics:
they've been hurt,
they're sensitive,
and their cynicism is a shell
that's protecting this tiny, dear part in them
that's still alive. "
Jeff Bridges
" When you can't remember why you're hurt,
that's when you're healed. "
Jane Fonda

Have you been hurt?
Abused? Disregarded, Disrespected?
Have you been denied basic nurture?
Especially as a child?
I have to tell you
that these things stay with you,
they leave a mark,
a mark on who you are.
But I'm HAPPY to tell you
-as I have discovered to be true-
that it is entirely within your power
whether those marks will be scars
or medals of honor
or even flowers of the soul
blossoming always,
their roots in that terrible knowledge,
yet blessing every creature.
The Best Revenge.
I wish YOU all the best!

But a little chocolate now and then

When one forgives themselves and then the offender and the offender them, there is only one more step left, stop carrying the baggage you no longer own. Leave it at the terminal and board the train and head on down the line a thousand pounds lighter.
