I'm letting you in on a secret...
A HUGE PART of my PERSONAL RECOVERY that I'm PRACTICING is learning NOT to BOW OUT..
My natural inclination is FIGHT or FLIGHT...
I'm trying to PRACTICE not doing that...
I ALMOST BOWED OUT LAST NIGHT..and keep stopping myself from doing that...
I'm INVITING you back into the ARENA...
You are a SPECIAL and WONDERFUL PRINCESS- GODDESS whose PRESENCE is DESIRED...
I made it happen..a joyful life..filled with peace, contentment, happiness and fabulocity.

Thanks Mimi. Sometimes I just feel like I'm going to be shot down no matter what I say. (That an old issue with me that still needs work. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
I would never purposely HURT or OFFEND anyone, it's just not in my nature. It makes me feel bad to think that someone would think that of me and I would rather walk away than defend myself when I know the truth. I try to pick my battles wisely.
Thanks for the vote of confidence though. Maybe I'll just stick to the legal stuff for now-- it's pretty cut and dried and doesn't involve S.E.X. (well, not all the time). <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
