You MUST keep your integrity, so that you can keep looking at yourself and seeing beauty. Don't go backward-Stay the course!

I am going to re~ read Passionate Marriage. It is old and tattered but one more time won't hurt. I have started today and I am highlighting new passages. It will surely say something to me it has not before. Thanks Ali
Wow! You got him to open his ears, Ali. That is just scratching the surface, though.
Soooooooooo true , but I am still rejoicing. IT has taken me 10+ years to get thru. It was like that guy in the Movie THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO. Boy do I have patience!!!!!!!!! LMAO~ So I will take this small token. I mean I have been talking about this for-e-ver. I hope it does not take him 10 years to live it. Like you said he alone is not that powerful. So I can lead by example and then he is going to have to follow if he wants to keep "up". I aint getting any younger. I swear the heavens opened and a light shone down when he asked me for help w/ his anger. Oh and he said he is going to quit drinking for sure. ( I did not mention it, I have been going to Alanon Meetings .. and I found out his drinking is non of my business... very freeing )
Or could have been Cincos prayer too? I dunno but .. Praise God. Xoxoxox, Ali
Ps * the best part. I am still working on me. I did not fall apart last nite. And I am still moving forward. I could go on and on @ my blessings. I am doing this for me.
BTW, the yoga is so cool! Had no idea it was online. Also, there is some on demand fitness on cable that I haven't checked out yet. I use the treadmill because I can get my frustration out and think through things. When I follow an instructor, I can't think about everything I'm working on (which certainly has a positive place in my journey, so I MUST start doing some yoga or meditation or pilates).
Girl, fix your hair, put some lipstick on, a sexy top, jeans, heels and go meet up with some friends for dinner. What are you afraid of? You are a diva! And, it's not sinful or dirty or bad. It's not like you're going to disrespect yourself and act like a whore. Classy sexy=your goal. No shame. GO GO GO!!!
