Wonderful story. I hope to spend time sitting beside trees and a river with a cup of coffee, alternating between daydreaming, reading and watching the sky. And remembering that it's possible to overcome childhood pain and create a peaceful life filled with magic.

Thank you, Karen. And, can you do that right this minute? Or some time this weekend? (ie assemble cup of coffee, book, and head into the nearest nature you can find)?
(And - I'm sorry re the childhood pain. Whether it ever goes away fully, I don't know, but maybe you can think of the goal as simply turning in the direction of peace and magic?)
Thanks, Susan. I’m experiencing my private paradise either physically or virtually as often as possible. And you've given me another option! I suspect there are many here who have been healing childhood (& adult) wounds.
Yes Karen I am one of those people healing many wounds and I find writing, gratitude journaling, being out in nature or sitting quietly with my emotions breathing into them helps. And just being aware of something is most empowering because now you are aware of what you uncovered is your opportunity to change it, shift it intentionally. For too many years I beat myself up over things (still do at times), shamed, guilted, or ruminated and that did me no good. Have you read the book "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert. I am just starting it as my hors d'oeuvre.
Nice to hear from you, Mary. Awareness has been one of my biggest challenges., still is. But I also think that I wasn't always oblivious, I believe my issues were revealed to me one at a time so that I wasn't overwhelmed.
No, I haven't read "Big Magic" but I will add it to my list. Thanks for the suggestion.
