Thanks Michele; interestingly I feel it's one of the thing I so looked forward to writing about...

I think part of what I have to "grow up" in learning is that if they can't accept me and my beliefs it says something abou them more than me. But because I know so well how those beliefs engulf your world -- for those closest to me, they can't handle the difference. It's mom in particular...she's the one I want to protect the most. And the irony is that when their belief systems are supposed to "free them" - it actually binds them so strongly in ways they can't understand unless they look "outside in"...

Thanks for your reply....

I hope one day I can learn to write about this freely...but I think too, it can't be for my own selfish reason. I should only for the benefit of others....

Much love my friend...thanks for listening!! 😘
