Hello Anita,

I’m so glad Kathleen asked you to post about your life – I was also curious. When I read a post in the forum, I look for your response – “what did Anita say”?  You are voice of reason, compassion and non-judgment, available and present.  You say “as I learn about others, I learn about myself,” and that “healing and learning go hand in hand.”  You are so generous with your time in sharing what you have learned.

Thank you also for your response about my siblings’ anger, and my anger.  I do have anger, but didn’t consider that it’s associated with being submissive.  Or that anger is what closes the door on my compassion – but this too is accurate.  What you say here is true as well – seeing how my parents treated the siblings who rebelled compelled me to respond in an opposite way.  Knowing where my feelings come from helps me put them in their proper place.

I look forward to reading more from you, Anita.
