For me, the more secrets I discovered that I had kept from myself, the more appeared. It seemed to be a never-ending process....but, letting out the secrets into the light of day diminished their power. Healing begins on the inside and works its way out. It's worth it, and I am standing on the sidelines, sending you love and hugs, and cheering you on, you strong and courageous woman! oxSarannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13644029051120698745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123476681787448500.post-68018084765934388632009-12-04T14:56:36.189-06:002009-12-04T14:56:36.189-06:00Deborah, I am glad I made some sense!

Healing is...It is totally a bitch of a process! ;)<br /><br />Healing is so much harder than living with whatever we've got going on. It really is layers and layers of story, hurt, pain and grief. It can take such a long time to be ready, to be strong enough to confront what has been. So its okay that you're where you're at. Absolutely.<br /><br />You are doing everything you can do to work it out. And if you keep at it, I believe you will get there eventually. I know, that sounds a little trite, but I've seen the truth of that in my own experiences.<br /><br />Blessings and well wishes to you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123476681787448500.post-32283933199108666332009-12-03T14:56:53.141-06:002009-12-03T14:56:53.141-06:00Sree, your comment here disappeared but I did want...Sree, your comment here disappeared but I did want you to know that I saw it. :) I am so glad that you have found some inspiration here.
