Diane– I deeply appreciate your words: “. . . listening to each other silently, sharing at our own pace, able to look back at each other’s comments and just be present on our respective journeys.

Interesting that the thought of not having wine with dinner bothers me . . . fluttering in my stomach and constriction in my throat (the latter because I’m putting this out there, I think). I have a fp that thinks I can’t be myself when I don’t have that drink. Thanx for raising the subject Lorena.

I loved Gary almost giggling at one point when he was talking about Trust being the basis of being able to enjoy oneself. He clearly trusts!

(Good to be with you, Victoria.)

Thank you David for mentioning Trust “comes to you” and is not something I need to remember to do. I intend to remember instead that all my experiences really do serve my spiritual growth. I appreciated Gary’s reminder that even those things that appear tragic to my fp also serve this purpose – may I have the grace to see that when that my time comes.

Doug, you have already decided. What does it feel like?

I loved how Gary said, regarding his fp’s behavior, “I can quit or I can continue – either way the Universe will not judge me.” This is powerful for me. When I heard it, I almost laughed at the absurdity of the fp of my personality that thinks it has a duty to judge me negatively when a fp becomes active within me.

Shane, I have found it very supportive to use the words ‘I intend to’ in place of such things as ‘I try to’ or ‘I want to’ or ‘I need to’, etc. It feels empowering to me, like I’m no longer lost because I’ve chosen a goal for myself.

Love, Rosalind
