God is so Good
I feel so blessed. And taken care of. I was reading comments I made about four years ago to someone who helped me immensely – and I began to go down the shame cycle. “I’m not worthy of happiness.” “I’m a bad person.” “I don’t deserve to be loved.” STOP! Then I remember- “Injured people…

I hate myself -says me. I love myself -says Me.
Oh my gosh God is so good. -says my Higher Power. Life is so, so hard and scary. -says my wounded inner child, Gertrude. (Wounded inner child Bri has been named Gertrude, to remind myself that although she is a part of me, she also, paradoxically is not “who” I am. Does this make sense? …

Am I insane?
Sometimes I question my sanity. And it’s not when I’m about to go cliff diving, bungee jumping, or any of the above. (Although I would question my sanity then, too!)
