You have actually expressed, in words, the story of my mis-spent life. I too am nearly 80 and need more than ever to advocate for myself. However, I am still unable to feel that I deserve to speak up. Thank you for the nudge.
Thank you. I am so glad you are speaking and sharing. So many people can benefit from recognizing themselves in this. I sure do and can relate. Thank you for offering a gentle mirror. One that doesn’t condemn but merely says, hey - you are worthy, just as you are. 💗💗💗
I'm glad you didn't abandon yourself that one time, perhaps that first time. I'm glad your wife held space for you. I know you can do it again- and so do you. Practice. You have the rest of your life...
I found that I was very good advocating for others if I believed they deserved it. Not so much for myself. I can explain a principle, a law, and show how it applies in a certain situation. In order to do that I need first to ask questions!
Another gem....
The days you crack my heart wide open I am most grateful for 💖
