I honestly can relate although when this happened to me I was not in a healthy or present place in my life and fell into a deep depression as a result and allowed this person to divide me from a wonderful group of friends. I realize you wrote this well over a month ago... so I hope much healing and acceptance has transpired since then. I appreciate your commitment to being present in your life and honoring who you are. To me you have such a vibrant and loving energy! I just returned from a Thich Nhat Hanh retreat, and I feel moved to share something he talked about in one of his Dharma talks. He said "You already have enough conditions in life to be happy. You already have enough"... And the sanskrit word "Samtusta" keeps going through my head. It basically means "You already have enough"... It sounds like you are tapping into that deep knowing already! much love, xo I was reading through your kale chip blog again and decided to see what more recent things you’ve written and just came across this entry.

It's sad that you are having to suffer through the wounds of someone close turning on you. That person obviously has issues that are no part of you; hopefully for his/her sake he/she will gain understanding and thus heal. Until then is is his/her loss to have pushed you away.

I don't know you and I live on the opposite coast. And in the past few months I have traveled this very path with someone who was so incredibly important to me and especially my hooping world. After realizing the toxicity of it all, I responded exactly as you have with developing myself to "evolve" and let it go. I had to let the world make up its own mind because all I have the power to change is me and I need to be the best, most positive me I can be. I had to let go. Interestingly enough my life has changed a lot in response to this new path for the better many times over and in the end I actually mentally thank my friend and hope that one day she will find happiness. So it is very, very odd to read that an experience and life lesson that seemed so personal was being taught somewhere else at the same time! I am so proud of myself and I hope you have these same feelings. It was miserable and crazy-making at the time but I think necessary to make incredible changes. We are like sisters traveling the same path with hoops in hand. Keep in touch! Hoop Hug, Cari It was very strange reading this entry. I don’t know you and I live on the opposite coast.

I know it is hard not to fight back, but it is true that this person has their mind made up and none of it would really matter at the present moment. I hope in the future they can see how wrong they are and the friendship can be somewhat mended... and if not all you need know is that the people who matter know the truth and the real you and we love you and accept you.
