Hey T: I realized last night that you'd never mentioned another client before. And you did yesterday, you said he was a NEW client. I realize that maybe you said that because it was like subtly telling me that you're not moving back here after all. Because I remember, when you first were talking about moving this spring, you'd said you weren't taking on any new clients there because you were going to be moving. And you know what? I'm ok with that, I really am. I truly have found my center and being there, I have also found that I feel my own worth, my "I am enough-ness", I meant it when I told you I also found there that unconditional love for, and acceptance of, my whole self, shadow parts and all, at least the ones I know about; and that includes a sort of anticipatory acceptance of those I have yet to discover. I loved how you said "You KNOW how to do the work." Because I do. And I have no intention of stopping my inner work, ever. It's become a part of who I am. That's why I told you I don't think I would ever go back to "sleep". I was not trying to sound all cocky about it either, I just meant, when I look back at how asleep I was for such a long time, I can't even imagine going back "there", and will fight tooth and nail if I have to, to stay Awake. I KNOW now that I am worth it. Sometimes I think it's a little crazy how "fast" this seemed to happen but it really wasn't - it's been cooking in my internal ovens for over 3 years. The timer finally rang, that's all. Ahaha! I kinda like that analogy. I feel really really good about our agreeing to start winding down/spacing out sessions. It feels wonderful in fact. I think it surprises me a little, how it feels. I'll say it again. This stuff really WORKS!!!
