Thanks for bringing up to be gentle to oneself and to accept that I did what I did because I just didn't know any better then. All I know is that I couldn't handle placing anything about myself in the limelight, being secret is one way to describe it, and make the event and my place in it something to celebrate. I am so glad that I now see how lovely it is to acknowledge myself and my community around events that are important to me. Yeah hiding it was, fear of judgment and that hiding out of fear is doing a lot of damage. No more hiding for me Brooke, I can face judgment now too and happy Friday to you today. @Brooke.

For whatever reason, you learned to be secret. You didn't want the Universe to have your events as hostage. It's the same thing as "knock wood" after expressing a hope. "The day will be sunny, knock wood." Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see that as devaluing the importance of things, but as hiding them. I see a difference. Sure, it's an expression of fear. It might be unnecessary in your life. But if you think of it as the lines that are printed to keep primer letters straight, it's easier to see why you've grown beyond them. Oh, and hello. Happy Thursday. :D But…you’re being too hard on that earlier self, who is still within you. For whatever reason, you learned to be secret. You didn’t want the Universe to have your events as hostage.

It is astounding when you observe the status quo and are able to let your heart speak, what you come up with. I love how it shows where I can advance and how it supports the 'ME' to show up in my life. @Ann-Marie.

Luckily I too have recognised their importance and can now say to rituals .... bring it on, I'm ready for ya and I'm going to enjoy it. Thanks Wilma ;0) Hi Wilma, yes ceremonies and rituals are something I too have stepped over in the past, too caught up in the detail and looking good to really stop, savour the moment and treasure the memory for always.

I can already see that my conversations with my daughters have deepened considerably since all these revelations. And you too have a great Mothers Day :) Thanks Cindy and yes I am very thankful that at least I have some years left to do it differently.
