I agree with you wholeheartedly about it coming out worse when you suppress it. Your support means a lot to me! Jeannette - Thanks for the support. It's nice to hear I'm at least on the right path from someone who "knows the ropes" so to speak. It definitely IS scary to put it out there but if it can somehow help someone else as well as myself through the process than it makes the fear somehow seem a lot less powerful. Making peace is the toughie. If I could just figure out how to make that one easier, I'd be in business! Thanks for stopping by! Brandi – I totally agree that writing it out helps.

You know something that I think most people don't - and that's that just ACKNOWLEDGING it is helpful! So many automatically repress it, sweep it under the rug and do what they can to ignore - especially those who know about LOA. But the first step to transforming it is what you just did here - letting it be. Giving up resistance to it. I know it's scary to put your life out there for everyone to read, but there probably isn't a more powerful way to say "this is so." Then it's a matter of making peace with whatever judgment we have around it, and letting ourselves feel our real feelings. That in itself allows things to move in a better-feeling direction, I've found. Although, as you said, Angie, it's easier to tell this to someone else than it is to practice it. hee hee Thanks for a courageous and inspiring post! Kudos to you, Angie!

I agree with you wholeheartedly about it coming out worse when you suppress it. Your support means a lot to me! Jeannette - Thanks for the support. It's nice to hear I'm at least on the right path from someone who "knows the ropes" so to speak. It definitely IS scary to put it out there but if it can somehow help someone else as well as myself through the process than it makes the fear somehow seem a lot less powerful. Making peace is the toughie. If I could just figure out how to make that one easier, I'd be in business! Thanks for stopping by! Brandi – I totally agree that writing it out helps.

You know something that I think most people don't - and that's that just ACKNOWLEDGING it is helpful! So many automatically repress it, sweep it under the rug and do what they can to ignore - especially those who know about LOA. But the first step to transforming it is what you just did here - letting it be. Giving up resistance to it. I know it's scary to put your life out there for everyone to read, but there probably isn't a more powerful way to say "this is so." Then it's a matter of making peace with whatever judgment we have around it, and letting ourselves feel our real feelings. That in itself allows things to move in a better-feeling direction, I've found. Although, as you said, Angie, it's easier to tell this to someone else than it is to practice it. hee hee Thanks for a courageous and inspiring post! Kudos to you, Angie!

I think writing it all out helps though. I did the same thing this morning. We try and lock it all in and put on a smile when the reality is that locking it in doesn't get rid of the feeling it only hides it. Eventually the feeling has to come out especially when you just keep adding to it. Usually when you reach your boiling point and you've held it in for so long it doesn't come out as pretty as it would have if you'd have just voiced the feeling to begin with. You are doing awesome Angie and I am so sorry you are going thru- such tragedy in your life but it feels good to know that you are human!
