Ending Relationships
by oldcrowwoman in"it takes courage and honesty to end a relationship---with friends, loved ones, or work relationship.. sometimes, it may appear easier to let the relationship die from lack of attention rather than risk ending it.
sometimes it may appear easier to let the other person take responsibility for ending the relationship.. we may be tempted to take a passive approach.
instead of saying how we feel, what we want or don't want, or what we intend to do, we may begin sabotaging the relationship, hoping to force the other person to do the difficult work.. those are ways to end relationships, but they are not the cleanest or easiest ways.. as we walk this path of self-care, we learn that when it is time to end a relationship, the easiest way is one of honesty and directness, we are not being loving, gentle, or kind by avoiding the truth, if we know the truth.. we are not sparing the others's feelings by sabotaging the the relationship instead of accepting the end or the change, and doing something about it.

"no new door is opened without the inner urge for growth.
dreams guide us, encourage us, stretch us to new heights---and leave us momentarily empty when they are dashed.

Conflict
by oldcrowwoman in" fortunalely psycholanalysis is not the only way to resolve inner conflicts.
life itself still remains a very effective therapist.".
" the passage of time, coupled with an openess to the messages gleaned from our conversations with others, can provide answers we need for the way out of painful situations.

Obstacles
by oldcrowwoman in"it isn't for the moment you are stuck that you need courage, but for the long uphill climb back to sanity and faith and security" -----anne morrow lindbergh.
most of us are on a long uphill climb at this moment.
it is a climb we are making together, and yet a climb we can't do for each other.
