Life's journey is...Thank you for sharing this. Life's journey is never easy, and I've been where you are (no, not quite, but living with the feelings of worthlessness and of being unloveable). It was a challenge to accept myself, love myself. I admit to still having to work at it some days. Unfortunately for me, I'm off the wine (just too many calories, and doesn't make me any healthier). BUT I'm feeling great these days and I intend to stay like that... no listening to that negative voice in my head - or to any one else who is judgemental. Know that you do have another friend if you ever choose to call on her.Soundgalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00880710931198565346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-6813630387147110052014-01-02T12:54:22.489-05:002014-01-02T12:54:22.489-05:00Thanks, Liz, for stopping by!Thanks, Liz, for stopping by!Alyssa Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952824304836072132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-54278650645544410572014-01-02T12:53:51.486-05:002014-01-02T12:53:51.486-05:00Thanks, Louise!

I've enjoyed reading about your At Onement, too. :)<br /><br />Yes, the smile is a mighty defence (she writes, realizing she just put in a smiley face…), isn't it? It's been an interesting practise, feeling the muscles in my face and realizing they're not remotely connected to an actual feeling, but just a mask of safety.<br /><br />The brie and rioja were metaphoric, although we did share a nice cabernet last night. A January purge would probably be a good thing, though, after the holidays!<br /><br />Much love from the east.Alyssa Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952824304836072132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-31297543755372611462014-01-02T10:43:42.496-05:002014-01-02T10:43:42.496-05:00Thank you.Thank you.liz schamehornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10418071464383963232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-46917944721794859282014-01-02T00:57:36.318-05:002014-01-02T00:57:36.318-05:00I like your word -- it suits you, sits well in the...I like your word -- it suits you, sits well in the cradle of all that learning and has the potential to teach you, and me through vicarious connection, to completely love ourselves exactly the way we are -- even when we're not smiling.<br /><br />I have that same affliction -- getting better, but I still use my smile to deflect inquisitive natures wondering how I am, or to pretend I'm not feeling anything other than, wonderful! A friend who is a yogi master says that even in her practice she has to be careful to not give into the 'stillness of mind' deception that would separate her from her true feelings.<br /><br />Nurture. Like it.<br /><br />Mine is -- At Onement. (I know it's two but I'm challenged by Atonement). :)<br /><br />Hugs and slipping into my bed with a book and no wine. It's January. I give it up for the month. :( Louise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-15428288389029748452013-10-16T18:35:55.604-04:002013-10-16T18:35:55.604-04:00Thank you, Louise -- and many hugs back.Thank you, Louise -- and many hugs back.Alyssa Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15952824304836072132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920610378763399622.post-62475250675340687552013-10-16T11:14:26.409-04:002013-10-16T11:14:26.409-04:00I love this -- To treat myself as sacred. -- and I...I love this -- To treat myself as sacred. -- and I love that you get it!
