Of course I don't mind Jerry :) In fact our awesome Michelle814 gave me the God Winks metaphore. I never realized that I think in metaphors..thanks for reflecting that back to me. Well to think of it-my AH has always told me I have "rainbow eyes" so I guess that makes perfect sense ha! Hugs back to you my friend and thank you for your support!
p.s. Michelle, I am going to keep dancing! :D

Lately I have been really focusing on letting go of all of my pre conceived ideas about a HP that I was raised with and it has been so freeing (it is still a work in progress for sure). I am trying to just let go and not analyze too much of anything...and I tell you it feels absolutely amazing! I have been enjoying the little "God winks" lately :) I went to a meeting today and the topic was Step 2! I was like "oh, there he goes again winking at me" haha. It was amazing hearing everyone share there stories about their HP.
I am finding that when I first started going into these rooms I felt like I didn't belong there-it was almost like I didn't want to admit to myself just how dysfunctional my mind was! I think I wanted to just "play pretend" that I had it all together...Boy was I WRONG! I am FAR from having it all together haha and I have learned that I can actually learn SO much from these amazing people!...now I see that we all have so much in common and it is a place of serenity and peace there-very cozy and safe. Even though we are all different-we have so much in common. I am so thankful for the slogans too because it helps me to see that I need to stay in my own "hoola hoop" and that we all get to have out own view points too and experiences...Like the saying Take what you like and leave the rest.
Alanon is the place for me and I am finding life again. The most exciting thing I am finding is that I am not alone and there is a power out there that loves me and has been waiting for me to surrender to it's beautiful dance.
Thanks for listening and being here everyone. You all inspire me.

Mahalo Daisy...I'm an imaginative member of the Family Groups and have always used metaphors to "get the picture". I just love the picture of dancing with HP and getting God Winks. I'm gonna keep those and I know you won't mind. Thanks for the support. ((((Hugs))))
Hugs Daisy!! Love the visual of dancing with my HP because that's exactly what it is!
Hugs p :)

I just love this post!!! (I love the God Winks book too!!! I visit the author's website quite a bit for updated God Winks experiences!) Keep dancing with your HP. That's such a lovely thing to think about!
