*********************************************** I want more than anything to learn to respect and love myself and the people in my life. All my other goals are founded on me learning that. ************************************************ You got it girl! At least the goal. I have a secret for you. You already know it. You have accomplished this goal. If only you would beleive it. I mean really beleive it.
Did you ever read "The way of the Peaceful Warrior"? If not, it is time to get it from the library.
You brought a tear to my eye ALTL. You really hit an important point "Love and respect OURSELVES and those in our lives". Folks like me found it easy to respect others. Me, well I'm not real important! Well guess what babe. When we feel this way, others will feel this way about us. Confidence is a big player here.
Keep searching 2L. I'm searching also. At least we are looking in the right place. Within!
