fear of being abandoned and/or betrayed runs deep in me and your writing really spoke to me today. i haven’t read the four agreements, though i use the byron katie process (thework.com) to help me when i lose sight of what really is.
i’ve been thinking a lot about what friendship is, how people can get to misunderstanding, simply because i forget to accept the other person as they are.
great reminders for me today, thank you. thank you

How freeing is that “Don’t Take It Personally” agreement? That, in combination with “Don’t Make Assumptions” agreement, has kicked most of my relationships up a notch. (or splatted them to the ground, if that’s where they needed to go)
I’m sending good vibes for ease and flow on the thermals as you rise above. D

Your words echo my thoughts during the winter months. Every winter my fears confront me with no place to hide, since it is too cold to go out and share them. I sit with them and they assault me, until I fight/face them. Then I realize that’s what winter is…a dying of things, hibernating the germs of good and renewal. Then the warmth of the blessing of renewal comes and then I can open the door and go out again. A new person, having left some little fear behind during that blast of winter and with each winter a little more fear will leave and I will eventually become that fully actualize person, that dwells in the sun as well as the night. So I echo your thoughts. Your honesty is a comfort.

I’m so glad I came over to read this. I had clicked over from Sparkletopia to read the Teary entry and almost got chills when I read this. I’m doing a lot of self work revolving around fear right now. It started for me with a parenting book I’m reading, but I quickly realized that the implications were far greater for me than even for my children. I’ve lived such a long time with fear, and it colors everything.
This post is a keeper.
