The Overnight Walk and The Morning After

[lyssabard]

My life's been a mix of late of doing spiritual practice work, online and in workshop with T. Thorn Coyle, working on yarn and jewelry, despairing and planning to send out my resume once again, the birth of my sister's first child, and overshadowing the whole thing: preparing for the Out of the Darkness Overnight walk

You ARE a badass, and I wanna be you when I grow up!!!

[lyssabard]

Aw, lady! Be you! (Cause I'm still figuring shit out, here. ;)) I opt for us being bad asses together.
You, me, Jessica, and folks need to have a craft night....

That really is amazing! No joke! Btw, I'm totally dead for zombie apocalypse. I don't follow the Cardio rule. Obviously you do! Awesome!

As a parent, you always want the best for you child, but often that's through the lens of what you think is best. I really want to make sure as my own child grows, to try to see things from what her hopes and dreams are, rather than my own. I guess, what I want to say is, what your parents say and do is out of love for you, but it's misguided, misdirected, and unintentionally harmful. I can't say that when people get older and set in their way, they can't change. They can change, but it's a serious uphill battle.

;tldr Sorry your parents are like that. You're still awesome.

Oh believe me, I totally understand their intentions and their fears. I understand them...but excusing or living under it, no. And sometimes it still catches me by surprise, and it still hurts. This is less and less as time goes by. I do love them, but I was still quite angry when I wrote this, so I hope at least some good stuff came through.

Thank you, love, for all of your support.

This is all really cool. I'm really proud of you.

If you still want to do walks, I'm up for it. I don't want to lose the progress I have made. Just txt me when you are home in the evenings and I'll head out with you. We should investigate the mulberry tree on Layhill.

And by "investigate", I mean head out there quickly with some tupperware....

[silvrdragn]

I'm always up for that kind of "investigation"! ;)

You are amazing and I love you so much.

Thank you for taking such good care of me; your house felt like a home the moment I stepped through the door.

[lyssabard]

I love you, too, my twin.

I will always take care of you, and I am glad you always feel as safe in my home as I do in yours. You've been there for me for years, and I am ever so glad I can return the favor.

Welcome back. :)
