“The genuine heart of sadness comes from feeling that your nonexistent heart is full. You would like to spill your heart’s blood, give your heart to others. For the warrior, this experience of sad and tender heart is what gives birth to fearlessness. Conventionally, being fearless means that you are not afraid or that, if someone hits you, you will hit him back. We are not talking about this street-fighter level of fearlessness. real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.”

45 meetings in 45 days

Mom’s sweet friend Bonnie hanging out here this morning so I could go to a meeting without leaving mom alone.

So many good friends to talk/text to. Too many to list.

Jeanie and her infinite grace, patience, wisdom and….did I already mention grace?

Passing the time by watching True Blood on my laptop. I forget till times like now how amazing he technology I have access to is.

Feeling my heart opening up through this painful experience. 

Letting this be a short list today.
