Hello World!
You ARE the world to me, and I am so glad you are here reading.
Okay, update on my communication difficulties – and the report is everything was a smashing success. Not only was I able to speak with my dear friend in a non-confrontational way, I was able to keep the issue free of emotional charge so the conversation was easy, and we resolved the problem!
And, NO pulling, NO picking, and a solution for the future.
I hope that if you celebrate a cherished holiday at this time of year, it was wonderful and heartwarming. Mine was, I mainly celebrate Christmas, as this is the holiday I grew up with.
Anyway, I just wanted to report in about that emotional obstacle I was experiencing. It’s so odd how it is the littel things that can trip me up… I can handle crisis, lots of multi-tasking, but then have a feeling that I am uncomfortable with? Urgh – the world stops – and I used to run away from any uncomfortable internal state.
I have learned that I will probably be working on expanding my emotional comfort zone for the rest of my life. But it’s worth it, because life is ever so much better than it used to be. I have all my hair, I have clear skin, and things that pushed me over the “frantic feeling” edge a decade ago I can process easily today.
Okay, that’s all for now, but more soon!
Much love to all,
Christina
