New beginning

Oct 2 afternoon

When food is love
Once we had no choice, now we do.
The decision to be intimate, like the decision to break free from compulsive eating, is not something that is given to you. Intimacy is not something that just happens between two people, it is a way of being alive.

At every moment, we are choosing either to reveal ourselves or to protect ourselves, to value ourselves or to diminish ourselves, to tell the truth or to hide. To dive into life or to avoid it. Intimacy is making the choice to be connected to, rather than isolated from, our deepest truth at that moment.
In every workshop, I hear; "So when is the magic going to begin?"
And I say "When you take the step, when you made the choice"
For those of us who are used to waiting for someone to bring love to our lives, the dscovery that being intimate is a choice that we make at every moment is as close to magic as anyone ever comes.

Soul - I always protect myself either by thinking d other person is too good for me or I am too good for the other person. Either way is closing up.

How do we open up? How do we feel secure enough to send out d msg that we want a rship?

Father, u r great. A timely book for me. I want a book that can guide me to be a normal healthy woman instead one that is scared to even open up for possibility of rship.
