You have always been, and remain, a beacon of light and joy to me. I know you will be a phenomenal mother.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, *everyone*, for all your kind words and encouragement. I appreciate every single one of you.<BR/><BR/>I have no words to express the gratitude I feel for all the insight from your many different beliefs and directions. It's good to have balance in everything.<BR/><BR/>I'm so blessed to have you all in my life.Angeleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458315604863621603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954636728254412932.post-44402720607793941042008-02-01T11:16:00.000-08:002008-02-01T11:16:00.000-08:00I can only give you my secular hugs and warm wishe...I can only give you my secular hugs and warm wishes that you find your way through the challenges you have been dealing with. <BR/><BR/>You know I am now going to be thinking of the most lurid and Jerry Springer style situations since I have no idea what has gone down in your life. <BR/><BR/>Anyway- I suppose I'm on a similar quest to heal, though from different events and circumstances.Angelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216322840161752535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954636728254412932.post-30933237339252751922008-02-01T07:20:00.000-08:002008-02-01T07:20:00.000-08:00Angeleen, my first thought when reading this was h...Angeleen, my first thought when reading this was how brave and honest it is of you to share this with us. It's easy to show our successes in blogland and it's also easy to complain, but to share something so heartfelt is taking a huge leap of faith.<BR/><BR/>Beyond that I didn't know exactly what to say. Since we've met in this pretend world, I really feel like you are one of my good friends, just from our comments and emails back and forth. But, at the same time, we've never actually met, which makes it hard to know the right words.<BR/><BR/>But, what the hell... I'll give it a try. :)<BR/><BR/>First of all, I worry that our middle daughter (my step daughter) has some of the exact same issues with her mom as you've described. She worries so much for her mom, who is struggling through a rough relationship. She is so empathetic and sensitive, which is good, but it seems that other's problems tend to become her problems. So, I am extra glad you are sharing this event with us because maybe it can help me to help her.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, I agree that we all have various lessons to learn and issues to work through, but maybe there isn't always a *should* about when it happens. Maybe each of us are meant to learn it at different times... at the right times for us and our unique selves. Yes, it would have been much easier to learn this stuff when you were younger and had less people depending on you. But, maybe you're meant to learn it now, when you are able to be more aware of it, maybe you'll even *get* the lesson in a deeper and more meaningful way. And maybe you'll be able to share it with others in a more articulate way than you would have as a child. And maybe you can truly help someone else. You just never know who's reading.<BR/><BR/>And finally, (though I'm not sure if this will be offensive to your idea of God- just ignore it if it is) as I was laying out my Triple Goddess Tarot this morning, my mind kept returning to you and this post. I feel compelled to share what I read with you because I think it is applicable. I think you are already doing a lot of what is mentioned.<BR/><BR/>"Of all Earth's creatures, the human being stands alone among the stars, the Sun, and Moon, fully conscious of the choices he or she will act upon. During this lifetime and beyond, we come face to face with the consequences of our choices and are given countless opportunities to evaluate ourselves." <BR/><BR/>"At this stage of initiation, the spiritual aspirant pauses to reflect upon the origins of life and to seek a greater understanding of his or her karmic circumstances and conditions."<BR/><BR/>"We must strive to live according to higher principles and truths, walking a grace-centered path with awareness of spiritual laws and justice. The spiritual seeker learns neither to blame others for his or her own misfortunes, nor to judge friends and family for the imperfect lives they lead. The soul force comes into this life carrying many karmic imprints and memories that will eventually move toward liberation and completion. We each have a unique destiny."<BR/><BR/>"We're constantly creating circumstances and conditions in our lives that will help us see ourselves more clearly."<BR/><BR/>And finally a quote from John Wesley<BR/>"Do all the good you can,<BR/>By all the means you can,<BR/>In all the ways you can,<BR/>In all the places you can,<BR/>To all the people you can,<BR/>As long as ever you can."<BR/><BR/>Love You.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6954636728254412932.post-80127719547882904782008-01-30T07:55:00.000-08:002008-01-30T07:55:00.000-08:00Angeleen - how wonderfully honest this is... and b...Angeleen - how wonderfully honest this is... and beautiful. You are a strong and special woman and though I'm very far away, know I will be "holding you up to the Light."<BR/><BR/>Your post gave me a lot of things to chew on as I have a new life growing in my belly. I pray I will be able to give my child the ability to truly be a child - and be carefree and joyous in a way I've seen with your girls many, many times. <BR/><BR/>Blessings on your process.
