We have to let hurt and anger go, it is poison to our souls and peace of mind. I find that more than anything when I am able to be at peace with myself than I am more capable of being at peace with everyone else. No that does not mean I don't get angry or indignant at others when they are being cruel or hurtful towards others, I do. I have a person I work with that is very difficult, and yes he has punched my anger button. But then I have to tell myself that this is one very unhappy person and I try to extend as much compassion and love as I can towards him, because it has to be very miserable to be that unhappy. It is sad. The difficult ones actually are the ones who need more love. So instead of cussing like I want to do, I try to bless him. It is not easy being a promoter of peace, it can be very difficult at times to extend forgiveness and understanding to people who are behaving like A**H**#%!

I listen and hear your words for the first time. in recovery, I am learning that I can't forgive myself, or sometimes others and I too have fed that ugly monster. I am just beginning to let go and you know what it feels damn good. I have always been so consumed with pleasing others and worrying about what others think of me that it has kept me from joy and being who I am really. I fueled this by showing horses and trying to be " the star" I have forgotten why I really rode. the child inside is realizing it was for fun just peacefully cantering thru the woods. I have exhausted myself trying to be a fake self and coping my taking tranquilezers. this has kept me from experiencing the goddess within. I am on a journey towards living life, finding my power, and the true divine goddess that and I am am and that we all are. I am becoming. thank you for your talent sonya and thank you michele for sharing. it really hit home. blessed be jackieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286912855213692698.post-90017667000297558242012-04-04T16:47:25.788-05:002012-04-04T16:47:25.788-05:00Great post!

"got the t-shirt" as they say. :) <br /><br />the most important thing I took away from my "witch war" experiences (which happened years ago) is that I needed to work on ME and my grudge-holding tendencies. If you think about it, holding a grudge doesn't hurt the other person... only ourselves. Well, I not only used to hold a grudge... I fed it, I nurtured it, clothed it, provided room and board. Not healthy! So I am learning to let the grudges go. It probably takes longer than most people, but considering that I was able to feed a grudge at my table for decades, "getting over it" in a year or two now seems very quick. ;)<br /><br />And you know, it never hurts to forgive ourselves too. No matter how right we feel we were, we probably still made some mistakes in whatever that situation was... so we should also forgive ourselves and try to learn the lessons our Goddess was offering.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00654399549017739929noreply@blogger.com
