> Hi, Susan, Sweetie: Your true voice is coming out. Are you being a helper?
I've been counseling abused women for the past 10 years (no degree, just 31 years of abuse and extensive research).
Thanks, Ally, I like that about you
Thanks, sweetie!
and I like to think I can be that too,
of course you can, and that is what you are doing.
don['t you really love the idea that people're better because of knowing you?
Thankyou...that is a lovely thought. i realized that it would be horrific, if I didn't do something with the knowledge that I have.
I love that feeling, it's more than an idea, and some days the idea is still overwhelming me because of its' new-ness. I've never felt this smart (that feels terrible to say that about myself.. it's very nervy)
it isn't really nervy (LOL, ), it simply...IS the way you feel, and feelings...should always be honored. Honor yourself, honor all of your feelings. Accept that you are a unique, wonderful individual on the planet.
> I've never felt this beautiful (okay, maybe just appealing)
You are beautiful inside, and I will bet, on the inside, too! If you want to see what I look like; go to my website: www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com (and go under "About Me"
> I've never felt this physically and mentally whole, yet totally, also, split apart. Because all these bits of me that are growing still have to come together, and see what other people see. What they see is lovely, I like it, and I move more and more towards it the more they see all the good things I wish to be ...
you are lovely
> Ally, do you think I'm sick?
No. I think you are a hurting person on the planet, wanting everything we all want. love, affirmation, attention, and someone to celebrate you! You should be celebrated, and you should celebrate yourself; do the things that make you happy.
Hugs and Love, Ally (that was my nickname in the army)
