Hey y'all, Enjoyed reconnecting with y'all today. Homework was big & You asked for a "praise report" of sorts. Short snippet of context - two years ago after years of therapy, went all in (in patient program) one year ago advocated for inner child again in a big way and in the process stood up for him after some abuse that led to a deep chasm w/ my dad over the last year, we've worked through it.
The catalyst was a year ago this coming week around a sledding incident. We've since reconnected and repaired and revised our approach to relationship and candidly because of so much bullshit in religion and spiritual bypassing - had disregarded a lot about forgiveness. Made progress with him and myself etc...but today it hit different and felt safe in context of a non dualistic approach.
So I had my dad on my mind right after the call > called him. Yesterday he left an extra sled for us to enjoy on our own at our own pace etc. Thought more about it today and I let it sink in - the symbolism and gesture -and then left him a message. Floodgates opened- and body released, forgiveness and love moved.
Good stuff.
That was special. I am curious to dig into the book and join as I can on the study.
thanks for curating and cultivating the space. Sledding tomorrow - was already looking forward to it.

LFG! Lots going on in the world - fire tragedies and Snow storms - yet feeling warm inside. Appreciate y'all and looking forward to connecting more.
