Am starting this big journey like so many of us trying to figure out how to develop work which inspires me and indeed touches others whilst dealing with my monsters/demons/stuckness since I need so much time to be still, grounded, recover, revive as well as be in the world of work. I love your blogs and wanted to thank you for all that you are sharing. Brave, smart, sassy woman that you are and goodness I never knew the internet could be quite this enlightening. I'm a huge huge fan of Havi Brooks too. Amazing stuff! Anyway I felt to write after this blog in which you acknowledged your human icky vulnerable stuff. Beautiful to hear some of your journey and amazing to see how far we can all travel with kindness to self, moments of yummy magic and time. Many thanks for the inspiration and for being you! Hi

Ah ha! Thanks for pointing it out. Now I just have to figure out how to comfort that misplaced child.

From the first day of kindergarten it seems like. I've felt more like a lone wolf - searching, seeking for some kind of pack that I would feel I belonged with. I remember actually in high school, we had to write this pretend college admissions essay about ourselves, in English class. I wrote mine on the whole 'I am a lone wolf' theme. I was just trying to be honest, I thought that was the point. My teacher told me that nobody wants a "lone wolf", that I might as well say I didn't want to get into college at all. So I wrote a new one using some dumb analogy of a chocolate chip cookie. He gave it an A. Sigh. And I hated college, so go figure. Have you ever done the Enneagram? I tested to an 8 with a 7 wing, "The Maverick". I like that. =) @Lynn

I found your blog through Havi and I'm so glad I did. I am constantly running from the fears I have of not fitting in. I've always felt like the little puppy jumping at someone's feet, tongue sticking out just hoping that they'll like me and want to pick me up. You put it so nicely: "As long as I was afraid of her, there was a split between me and her, that little girl who wanted so much to be included and didn’t know how to make that happen." The split is causing major stuckification and I will do all I can to fix that rupture. Thanks so much for sharing. Yay Emma! I found your blog through Havi and I’m so glad I did.
