We talked after MC and dug into a lot of other stuff. I mostly listened and validated and appreciated the feedback. I haven’t determined what I think about all this right now.

Lots to think about more tomorrow.


Hey U -

I'm sorry you're in this position, but it actually could have been way worse. Perhaps that's little consolation, but I'm all about trying to be as positive as possible.

I would caution that these statements were what she felt in that particular moment, and are not concrete unshifting entities. This took me a long time to figure out in my sit and it is why I was so puzzled by W's sudden shifts in topic and emotions.

One of the reasons I was advocating for no MC was because this was a temp check. That's ok though, at least you know where you stand right now, and you know what to apply in order to protect yourself.

Stay strong, man smile
