Happiness is in the palm of my

I toss a smile to show the

Joy

In my heart

Loneliness was ashamed to show

Its ugly

Yep. At some point (and I forget if I wrote an entry on this) I realized all the different sides in me are worthy of love. So, I’d envision giving myself (in my mind of course) a huge big group hug. The sad and lonely and cranky needed the most love and the biggest hug. They need not be ashamed. They just need to be accepted. 🙂

And speaking of monsters – my inner monster was the size of a high-rise building and I had sprinted away from it all my life without knowing this: Once I turned around and was no longer scared, no longer attached shame or rejection or fear into it – and just stood there watching (again symbolically, in my mind) – it screamed loud to scare me. But I continued just watching… and it turned into a small little sad girl. It was the lonely and sad little girl in me.

I hugged it with all my power. Self love! Love is powerful. We are powerful.

  We are so much alike in many ways. It’s a bit uncanny. I have a few posts I would love to share with you. I feel you can relate to them. We do need to embrace the sad and lonely as you stated. Nevertheless we must know if someone is too needy, we have to move forward and let it go. Sometimes we can better love ourselves, at the distance of others.

    “We are so much alike in many ways. It’s a bit uncanny.” – I almost missed this comment. I look forward to more sharing. Ms fellow Vera. Your new name 😉 LOL. Yes, there are people I truly have empathy for, and I wish the best for them – but I’m not there to catch them. If they poison me, they need to approach! I need all my strength to love myself, thank you very much! 🙂
    
    And now my son! An even bigger reason to continue on that path towards the all-good, while stumbling and falling of course, and then getting up again. The human that I am. 🙂 Nevertheless – the right path.

    So true. Your son is going to have much respect for you. And learn how to treat a woman. Thanks to you. Stay strong and proud.

    I’m so happy you are happy! I love to clean and sing and dance. My favorite thing to do. I don’t share what I do very often but I thought that I needed to put a disclaimer on my art today because I have this person that seems to always think my art is for someone person and it’s really just art and things that I do to stay creative all day. Like in the zone. Thank you do you think I should take that off? I guess I’m sort of tired of answer the question who’s that art for or are you in love or anything like that. If I was in love I would shout it from the roof tops.
    Back to what you write here. I love how sweet and light this is, tossing smiles like star dust and happy times! 😀 Hugs to you Miss Vee

    Thank you Michelle. No there’s nothing inappropriate about the disclaimer. Have you reported this person to WordPress personnel?

    Yes twice and I have a friend that did that same thing but still they persist. I have them spammed and blacklisted but when they spam trash empties in 30 days their mean comments show up again. I feel sorry for folks that think they have to be mean and discourage. They really are tormented inside to act like that! All we can do is pray for them and hope WP get a block feature! 😀 Hugs to you sweet friend! 😀

    You’re welcome Vera. I’ve had a few replies/answers go missing this last week. You know I think that your work is getting much better since you talked about your ex. It’s like you’ve unblocked something inside. A poetic drain blockage as it were. 🙂

    That is a great compliment Laurie. Thank you so much. My vision of my blog is far greater than I could have imagined. I do feel as if a burden has been lifted off of me. I was very reluctant to tell the story of my life. I’ve received nothing other than compassion, and positive feedback. I always cared for others, but didn’t know what to do for myself. I have some decisions to make moving forward. I am ready to plant my roots. 🙂

    You’re welcome Vera. I’ve been following you for a while now and have noticed how your work changed so suddenly. I’ve found that many bloggers are kind and respectful. That’s the trouble when we care for others, it’s usually at the expense of ourselves. I’m quite sure that you will now make the right decisions for yourself Vera. I sincerely hope that everything works out well for you.
    Cheers
    Laurie.
