It's a bit like loosening a grip that was wrapped around a pole tightly, when you thought you had to hang on. It feels really odd at first but eventually you realize that's how you're meant to be. ari Hi Laurie,

I have been repairing from family warfare and working to find out who I am in my core and what makes me tick. I spent so much time in a self protection mode now that I don't really need that anymore, I feel like I have been freed from prison. I am working toward a life of passion and living out loud. It feels good now, but when I first started working through it, you are right, it was very painful. But even a butterfly must struggle to emerge from its chrysalis. If you help it out, it will never fly. For it is in the struggle where he gains the strength to fly! I’ve been going through a transformation of a sort the last couple of years.

"Know that what worked to get you this far, may not work from here on." - completely agree with this. Going through pain and then healing and growing is a complete process. Getting numb is like a pause button. Since it does exactly that - you get stuck where you are and then you begin to rust. Life should always be on play mode! <i>This time I won't forget.
