Dear Anita,

Let’s continue today (if you are able) to continue as the “adult” me.  I smile while I type that, because the adult me often does not feel adult.  So much of the mother voice keeps me as a child, a doting child, a child not allowed to grow, a child that was GIVEN an identity by another…and not allowed to develop her own.

A child who has been programmed NOT to follow her intuition or sit with her feelings, but instead FLEE, ESCAPE, AND DO.
