Thinking of you today.....hope you're taking some time out.
Have you heard about the 2nd interview yet? This sounds very promising and I'm very excited for you.
I think that it's absolutely great that the new Sage can see the "old" Sage when she tries to come out.....you can SEE and you can refrain or at least re-direct.....
We all do this Sage...I agree that it's about fear and it's also about looking for ground under us. I'm glad you're not beating yourself up...simply noting it and moving on.
I won't be around tomorrow or the weekend but I'll be thinking of ya!
