Monday is my first appointment with the amazing Kim Vargas. Kim is a counselor who is best known for helping women transition into motherhood. I look forward to her helping me transition fully into a present moment - rather than a past rooted - life. Am proud of all I've accomplished so far on my own, but the rest of the way calls for expert help.
The great gift of writing this particular blog is being able to recast ancient gunk into present day insight or even lessons. For that, I offer up thanks to the Internet for providing such an incredible space to do such invaluable inner work.
It is sobering to realize how many years ticked by before it finally hit me that my life isn't that different from most folks'. How weirdly comforting it was to think of myself as vastly different from the rest, how stable THEIR lives were compared to mine. By casting myself as uniquely challenged, I also made it okay to not make much progress - my situation was SO much worse than anyone else's, it defied change.
At 62, I can totally shout from the rooftops - LIFE IS GOOD!!!! Challenging, yes. Long arduous roads ahead to get where I want to be - yes. Soul wrenching as I work to overhaul unproductive lifelong patterns - yes. But so very very very good. I owe it all - every bit of it - to everything & everyone who came before. And that is no secret!
