Bridget, thank you SOOO much for sharing this post because while I do not wish your current state upon you, it is refreshing to know (and see) that it is not always smooth sailing. It helps all of us see that we are not alone when we are going through our “growing pains” <–that's what it feels like to me.

I admire your courage for speaking out about it. I can learn a lesson (actually quite a few lessons!) from you.

Sending you very big big hugs, some hot tea, a foot rub and some coffee cake. Not in that order.

I’m having some similar earthquakes (what do they call those when they happen inside of you instead of the earth?) and I’m feeling that it’s a result of Rock Star Intuition. Sometimes I’m scared that I won’t live up to what’s going on or that I’ll furl up and retreat. And now and then, I’m excited that something is going on deep inside and I’m eager to see what it is. My emotions are all over the map and I can truly relate to what Emily said, “that place where there is so much feeling that you simply stop feeling entirely.” YES! I was in that place last night. It was a heavy place and I simply needed to disconnect. I feel lighter today (and considerably so after reading this even though it’s a heavy post). I need to know – and remind myself – that others can be emotional wrecks from time to time and not be a whack job (which I fear I am at times!) wow – that was so not articulate so I hope you got what I was trying to say.

I’m working on patience and faith (perhaps intuition?) that most of this “emotional stuff” will work itself out in its own time if I stay in the groove with Rock Star Intuition, rather than getting scared and not following through (my typical pattern). So I’m practicing . . . ah the beauty of baby steps

Thank you for sharing Bridget. It really means so much!

Bookmarking it to be a light in my future darkness. A reminder of something that can be done when you feel you will never get out of the swamp.

Thank you, lovely Bridget.
