What did I just put out there for everyone to see?!" :) I think it was a great post, though! I loved what you said here about healing from codependency. I have found that to be a big part of my journey: trying to love others, then crashing and burning, getting burnt out, needing to back waaaay up, and now trying to rebuild and feel out some healthy boundaries. Haven't figured it out yet. I'm grateful for you sharing your experiences and journey. By the way, I've noticed that you are really amazing about answering everyone's comments on your blog. Just wanted to say that since I'm reading through your old posts, I'll probably comment a lot, and you don't need to feel like you need to answer all of them :) I'm discovering my voice, and my voice seems to be loquacious :) Brene Brown calls it a “vulnerability hangover” when we post stuff and then go, “Oh, no!

(or maybe a lot of pride and that's probably a good thing, eh?) love your courage! glenn – thanks for the encouragement. yeah, “in the wild” is definitely what it feels like. love it though & all i am learning!

mary – oh your perspective means so much. thanks for the wise words and the reminder of how worth it is.

I especially like how you talk about fear. We so need perspective, don't we? I recently was feeling a bit of fear about putting my latest post out there to be read (and criticized, no doubt!). I came across this little 5-minute video by Tim Ferris and it so helped me. I was able to hit the "publish" button with ease after that: http://tinyurl.com/kt89xw I know I'll be watching it again from time to time when the fear-monster raises his ugly head again. We just need a little perspective sometimes that the universe won't come to a halt if we're doing it well or horrible, right or wrong. Your reminder was so timely for me. As always, thanks!

I often have a picture in my mind of a leper colony. There are those who bring food, money, kind words and leave it all at the gate which of course is beneficial and meaningful for those beyond the gate. But then there are those who go beyond and open the gate and embrace and touch and engage with the unlovely. Thank you for opening the gate.
