I'm ...Hey Bug- Listen, thanks for publishing that. I'm not one for self-help, but I would recommend a book called "The Places that Scare You" by Pema Chodron. I think of her as a Buddhist Joseph Campbell. I second fatcharlatan. Talking about the fears is half of it- I'll be joining you all with that- sending you a link tomorrow for my new blog TRepeaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958922007263367129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-1157516243636707792006-09-06T00:17:00.000-04:002006-09-06T00:17:00.000-04:00Just writing it down makes a huge difference ... t...Just writing it down makes a huge difference ... takes the sting out of the bite.Berlinboundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923336754703543803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-1157485477842081522006-09-05T15:44:00.000-04:002006-09-05T15:44:00.000-04:00Thank you all so much.

And then remember how the next day I said, "Hey, I wasn't so scared today," and you said, "Me either!" I truly, truly believe that getting our worst fears and secrets off our chests is the first (and biggest) step in healing and dealing with things.<BR/><BR/>Of course, another thing we can do is go out in the middle of November for pitchers of sangria while wearing leis and hula skirts (then you'd definitely have something to write about). Screw whatever the thermometer says!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing such a brave post.<BR/><BR/>Peace,<BR/>FCIdiot Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11865748428499401466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30540321.post-1157420851357926972006-09-04T21:47:00.000-04:002006-09-04T21:47:00.000-04:00Bug, that is such an honest post.

Between yoga, blogging, knitting, and writing (not necessarily in that order), and with Brian and others (count me in) willing to help hold you up, I hope that your fall will be as lovely as ever.TIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404607872558389013noreply@blogger.com
