Oh boy, at that time I had no idea what she meant and felt I was doing the work, I was going through the curriculum, watching the videos and participating in group. I was sitting with what I was hearing and things resonated but I wasn't working through the worksheets. I would read them and decide I didn't have time to dedicate to them and would circle back. I can't remember what it was that caused things to click, but I started to do the worksheets, made the time and have learned so much about myself, healed things that I didn't realize were there. I have gained understanding, compassion, acceptance of the most important person, ME. I have learned new skills in communication. I have found courage. I am showing up for myself. I am applying things that I have learned to every aspect of my life. Although I do not know how my marriage will go from this point forward, I feel confident that I have been able to communicate with my husband about my needs, desires and dreams. I do know what I want and what I will not tolerate and have communicated it. Now it is time to see if he can meet me where I am. I have discovered that I have a map of my life and within that map, many directions that I could go. I am open and accepting to any of them. I will keep going down one path and if that doesn't work, I will try another route. I have learned that I can change my mind at any time. How freeing is that? Not just knowing or telling myself that I have control over my own life, feeling it!"
