Yes I am...Know what though....as wierd as it sounds, it is a good tough..one that we all must take. Coming to that place where our true self is exposed. Exposed for all to see. You will find this place. Don't rush...take your time...feel it and learn from it. Take this gift of time.

I'm on the alt now too (I think we're friends already?) ... and I've posted a few pics ...
Yes we are friends on the alt. Your children are ADORABLE. Not that I'm a proud Dad or anything like that but please check on my angels on the alt. Although my 16 yr old is taller than me..they still and always will be my babies.

That's the beast I've been fighting this week and it's been an ugly fight ... but I'll win it. With time. I know I won't win every battle, but the war is mine![/qupte] Yep one hell of a beast. It is a raging monster that we all must face. Oh...the need to control so that WE can feel better..the need to control so that WE do not get hurt. The need to control so that WE do not have to face our fears. Yep...control is a biznich! The fight is won over time...slowly you give up this control as you begin to realize that control never really guarentee any us anything. When you let go...you allow yourself the opportunity to really examine the who, what, where, etc. It is at this point that all YOUR questions are answered.
[qoute]Thank you. You know it never really occured to me to validate that 'second person' inside. I really was trying to overtake her .... but you're right. She needs to be validated and fed too. But here is where the control comes in ... now I have to use it to let the first person dominate.
Not dominate per se...the two will need to "get along". You can never change WHO U really are. Never. You can learn to realize characteristic about yourself and how to deal with them. Hence, you can't kill the child...only comfort it - that confort come from with in YOU. It comes from the strength that is IN YOU. Ya just need to find it. Personally, I say kick back on the beach (yes lucky you) have a drink relax and just feel who you are. The answers will come at a time when the war that rages begins to settle.

Hope you are having a good weekend!
Had a good day with the kids yesterday. Today I am at work to catch up on a few things. Like I said earlier...enjoy the beach (note the jealousy in the tone of "enjoy the beach" - lucky YOU!). Seriously, have a good one.
God Bless, Eric
