Hi Juditha. I don't think folks realize that everything we say here we are really just ending up talking about what we wish to hear, or what we believe about ourselves we are believing it is so for the other guy too. took me forever to see how many assumptions I live on. because we all look into different directions, most folks you meet in life will only agree with you part of time if you're lucky. so I stopped looking for like minded folks and when ever I am in agreement with someone, its like the most wonderful feeling, maybe it's PUL
but I think you are in the right place and all of us are even if we don't know it.
it's funny, but about the word trust..you can't trust other folks until you start trusting yourself. maybe I like to harp on this, as I looked at my life and it's mind  blowing that even the bad things turned out to be chosen experiences, so I could find what the good was. and now all thats left is this feeling of freedom. to tell it like I see it because as long as we are not harming another intentionally with self expression, then we can grow with the wonder of it all. and the mistakes? they are not mistakes to me, they are just road signs.

my best to you dear, and if you see something marvelous happening for me, do tell! he he he he....I do so love attention. sorry I'm a board hog.

love, alysia
