hello there my biggest supporters!
it's been a week since my reconnection with ME and we're still bonding.  i feel so proud of this accomplishment.  i even feel kind of proud to have done it on my own (clearly with the guidance of Heavenly Father) but something in me feels all natural childbirth-y to not have been guided by a therapist.  (and even though i am a MAJOR advocate for therapy for all)
this happened last monday, and wouldn't you know that tuesday i was asked to speak at church??  i mean, as soon as i got the phone call i knew why.  i knew i was supposed to share it.  i didn't even have time to really go into detail and i was even feeling as i was speaking that the details weren't necessary to share.  but i knew my perspective had shifted enough that i had something to offer and that felt good.  i was still so on top of the world that i was happy to shout it from the roof tops.  how awful this girl must have felt being stuffed in some dark part of myself in an effort to be forgotten.  how miraculous that i found her and rescued her all by an act of forgiveness.  this is such a real, concrete, tangible experience even in its abstract intrapersonal way.  i still feel like i've changed my life.

we enjoyed a stay-cation that ended sunday as well.  my mom has been in town and our days have been so filled with fun, out of the ordinary things around our town.  i'm SO sharing them!  a lot of fun i tell you!!!  she's even staying in town an extra day to help me with some fantastic projects.  hopefully i'll be able to share those with you too.  i'm moving classrooms and i'm inspired by these 2 fantastic windows.  i also got a brilliant idea for the teacher's lounge.  did i ever tell you that i'm secretly redoing the WHOLE ROOM?  it's been on my to do list since i arrived there (except that i thought i was going to leave there soon after and be a kite again so i didn't put in a lick of effort).  but now that i know it's my space to be in too and simply must get my hands on this place:)  i will do a before and after of that as well.....cause i think it's going down tomorrow.  can't wait!

okay, off to read....just got theHELP...and sleep and get ready for my day of creativity tomorrow.  it feels like tomorrow's black friday or something! (that's funny...i guess i get more excited about black friday than christmas)
nighty noodle peeps;)
