Worth it!

Hello.  I'm so impressed with the great posts here.   They really inspire me and make me feel so lucky to be a part of this special group.  Thank you everyone!!!!  

When I look at myself with the kind of courage and clarity that Bruce and Mandie have shared with us so graciously, I too find so much I want to change.  It is so helpful for me to see how they address these things with compassion for themselves.  By compassion, I don't mean pity.  I mean they look at themselves seeing the "warts and all"  and don't hang themselves in excess condemnation, guilt, or self-punishment.  They still think positively about change for the better!!!  They demonstrate how to come out of this dark place because they keep their sense of self-esteem by being positive:  thankful, humble (not groveling), helpful to others, asking for and accepting help from others, focusing on the fact that they can turn around and take one step at a time towards the light!  I have much to learn about seeing clearly AND being positive at the same time.  I AM SO LUCKY RIGHT NOW!!  We all are!!  Group hug!!!

We are all Worth the changes and Prizes we choose.  "Work it, You're Worth it!" is they key for me.  Thank you all for reinforcing that powerful idea in me.  

I will be out of town on Tuesday, and I really regret that I can't join you all for the meeting.  I know it will be great as we inspire and help one another work our way to our Prizes.
