step one

i was just finishing up.
read over my post.
saw what my first step needed to be.

did you see the line in that last post?
the one that says "i hate shame."

yeah.
i do.

but um.......
maybe that's the place to start.

maybe not hating.

maybe holding.
and being gentle.

and loving every darn piece of myself.
starting with the shame.......

I love this..makes me think of one of my favorite quotes

Carl Rogers:"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change. "

here's to loving every darn piece!; June 10, 2008 at 7:59 PM

it was hers

“they took. they invaded. they pushed. they violated. in so many different ways. a lifetime of pushes and takings and making her feel less than valuable. sitting back, she began to see it. how it had gone on and on. and in seeing it, she began to realize - it was up to her now to shout, to whisper, to sing, to move and to believe in her value. no more taking that from her. it was hers. no more giving it away. it was hers. proudly, with strength and with knowing, she held it. she lived it. she became it.”
