Hi anita

My thanking you was for just that moment when you expressed bravery, as it did make me feel good! – I am glad it made you feel good 🙂

health is (as the song says) to love and be loved in return. – this is so true. It’s very evident in kids when they are treated well. Their energy is just different. I’d imagine it’s the same for us.

I do need to be brave against my fear. I think I need to become shameless. It is used as an insult. But, that would be the temporary substitute when I lack actual bravery to rationalize and justify  putting myself first.

Notice this: your fear survived all the work that you put in for the company. This is so incredibly profound. Thank you for this. Fear cannot be placated. It just gets its way and fades into the background but will always come forth. Like it wants to ensure it still controls my mind. I will have to employ all the tools and practices we’ve discussed here – breathing, stretching, asking questions.

You were depleted by all the work you did… but your fear was not depleted. No reason to think that more extra work will take that fear away! I think I need to become shameless first, and that will help me become fearless. There are people in my extended family that are so unafraid of consequences. I will let go of consequences for once. Or rather trying to predict what they would be and fearing them.
