Such a disturbing thing to deal with. I have learned over the years that you have to talk about the things that happen to you and process them. You never forget them but the emotions surrounding what happened become less. I spent my life just moving on but eventually it all caught up with me and it's taken me 15 years to process 53 years of stuffed emotions. It can be done but it is really hard work.Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508055212017916057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-61805457702672354952009-07-15T16:35:12.679+01:002009-07-15T16:35:12.679+01:00I know just what you mean.

I read two books several years ago by Judith Duerk. They are The Circle Of Stones and I Sit Listening The Wind. I cried when I first read the Circle Of Stones. It told me what I already knew about being a woman and yet I wasn't conscious of it. I think every woman should read these two books to be able to live in a male dominated society. We don't even know that we and society devalue us just because we are women.<br /><br />I have thought about you a lot in the past few days - about you witnessing the search by the RNLI for the young man and also the comment you made on my blog about the young couple you found. These things stay with us and change us at some level and it is important to talk about them and how we feel about what we have experienced. Unfortunately, we live in a society that forces us to repress our feelings and take Prosac instead. I have a freedom in blogging to be able to say things I wouldn't say to anyone around me because I find most people don't know what to do with other people's feelings.<br /><br />I'm running on a bit here but this is a subject I FEEL very strongly about.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy The Artist's Way group. <br /><br />I hopeLeonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508055212017916057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-17870558393203190682009-07-15T04:51:42.114+01:002009-07-15T04:51:42.114+01:00Why do we always want what we think other people h...Why do we always want what we think other people have in terms of creativity? Your blog today sounds very similar to mine. I want to be funky and bohemian and I just seem to be boring. When I look at what you create I see originality and really interesting and beautiful work. So, as you said, in so many words, on my blog, I wish you could see what you create through my eyes.<br />The Artists Way is an amazing book. I bought it in 1993 when I was on what I called my Vision Quest. It is the first time I have ever completed a book of this type. I did it alone first and then with two friends. It really is worthwhile. It is the first of a trilogy, the second is Walking In This World, the third, Finding Water. I haven't done the last two. She also has another workbook called Vein Of Gold. I hope you can find time for it, I think you will find it worthwhile. And you are too hard on yourself.Leonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508055212017916057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-47016729193591566232009-07-14T21:38:37.199+01:002009-07-14T21:38:37.199+01:00Another book club? *gulp* I am sure I can find tim...Another book club? *gulp* I am sure I can find time for it. *goes pale* I know I will regret it if I don't... *laugh*Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02335627965504673440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136965487706276120.post-14875296494015526792009-07-14T21:35:42.107+01:002009-07-14T21:35:42.107+01:00Of course I do...and I fully intend to have it!! *...Of course I do...and I fully intend to have it!! *grin* <br /><br />And Strategist fits you very well...just as the Chief fits Holly and the Dreamer fits Sam. I wish I was more of the Dreamer myself...I wish I could be truly comfortable flitting about and not needing to know where I was going -- less dependent on the external frameworks and routines...having to plan and being anal about things is rather uncool and I always thought it interfered with being creative. But it doesn't. It's just a different road to the same place...like everything, it seems...:)<br /><br />If you're up for it....there's another book *club* going...<br /><br />Am off to email you....xoxoxmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00336474101204142611noreply@blogger.com
