Receiving the envelope has sparked this topic again. This has been tough and heart-wrenching to grasp an understanding of, to feel and segue through. I’ve experienced it in childhood, my long-term marriage, divorce and now birth family again a hundred fold; coming full circle to where it all started. (Although, I could add past lives. Lol!). Thwarting truth, glass half empty, insane jealousy, victim mentality, scamming, a mother and 4 daughters all vying for survival with fear as a spearhead.

Clearly, I could not control the periodic, unsavory behavior of the involved characters towards me because I dared to be different, to keep searching for and following my truth. I know it is time to lay the past down, with awareness that it no longer adversely affects me; rather, it informs me and inspires my creativity.

I intend to practice love, compassion and exercise the principle of letting go and moving forward fortified with the only power I have which is over my thoughts, emotions and actions. Most definitely a moment by moment dance.
