HEY JUDE.....

Go ahead. Ask me.  I finally stopped running from who I am and what I do, I've learned the hard way to live in the moment.  People talk to me.  They talk more when I'm out and about, relaxed and functioning from my authentic self.  See,  I am the one who runs into the "Big Orange Store" for a lightbulb and leaves knowing the entire life history of the cashier.  I go shoe shopping, then stop & sit with a young woman who "lost herself" (true story, and no, no shoes).  I go on vacation, and end up hanging out with a veteran~ hearing his story 'cuz this guy matters!  I just find myself surrounded by people who simply need to be "heard".  So, I listen. 

I believe we all have stories and healing comes from telling them.  I am real, I am honest, I've skinned my knees and got back up.  I have scars, some still hurt, others are reminders of experiences I managed to get through. I like my scars.  I've spent my life trying to box myself into being someone everyone else thought I should be. It almost broke me.  No. I won't be boxed in.  I am me, unique, and I navigate through life's mess with flailing grace.  We were never meant to do life alone.  That's what this forum is for.  Bringing us together and sorting through the junk.  Go.
