I too need to accept the dichotomy within myself and my good as well as my frighteningly sinful sides. It is hard to accept them all but it is also such a relief to release the denial and know that it is all right to be me!

To me holidays are meant to be calm and restful. A chance to spend quiet time with those we care about and our chosen "family." What a great message. To me holidays

I can feel the relief as I sit here and do a "reframe" on myself. Ahhhh.... feels so much better. Glad you sent this to us on the Brennan list. Thanks so much for your insights, Isabelle.

I also add and accept that some of our darkness might be transformed and so it is no longer there... and there is no need to be ashamed of it! : -) I like what you say and I agree we have to own all parts of us… the good and the bad!

I feel my burden lift when I don't have to be perfect. I am passionate and I am lazy. I am critical and I am compassionate. I worry too much and too little. I over eat and deny it too. I am creator of my best and my worst. You offer us permission to accept our reality and want more from ourselves. Every day is a new opportunity. Thank you! Thank you, Isabelle.

You are absolutely brilliant! As I let my thoughts surface in an effort to find something to say (as this does not come easily for me), the words that were coming were "impatient, thoughtless, rude, unforgiving" and I kept trying to push them aside so the "real" words could come through - hahaha! I need to add a poor listener to that list! Thank you, Is. You are absolutely brilliant!
