Some people feel the rain — others just get wet. - Roger Miller
@Mama_Bre Great stuff!

Women have a very deep relationship to nature in its positive form. Relationship to animals can also effect the cure, and many women make a relationship to a pet, which at that time may mean more to them than anything else because its unconscious simplicity appeals to the wounds within them. Relationship to a human is a differentiated task, but relationship to an animal is simple, and in feeling for it, the lost tenderness may be discovered.

“Do not underestimate someone who has lost everything and is still here to tell the story. Do not underestimate someone who has fought dearly for sobriety. Peace. Forgiveness. Self-love. Freedom. Authenticity. Truth. Do not underestimate the lonely. They have braved wars that only those who understand the absence of human connection, can do. Even now. They are holding it all together while coming so wildly undone. And sometimes we may see them unravel ever so softly. Or loudly. Or however their soul unties its cage the best.
Do not underestimate the ones who have suffered the kind of grief that does not seem to end. Who have been broken in places you did not even know existed. The ones who fell into silence because their lungs had no words left to speak. We will not always be strong. No. But we are enduring.”

@MissAdventurous You do bring too much to the table to be treated like a napkin! I really like your posts.
Thank you so much @achetocuddle
@MissAdventurous definitely brings a lot to the table in more ways than one …even literally with all the amazing cooking in the cooking therapy thread.
I too greatly appreciate @MissAdventurous and her posts in this thread.
