Who knows? Your path will keep winding! Sounds like all options are enjoyable. There's an art therapy Masters program in Oregon I'd love to check out sometime ;] I hope to cross paths with you, regardless of your path. Who knows? Your path will keep winding!

You are one of the most honest, giving people I have ever met. Taking time for yourself when you need it is one of the wisest things you can do. I know it sounds cliche, but these things really do take time. I admire your strength, and I'm proud of your growth. "It's OK to change. Sometimes it's not just OK, but mandatory. You can let go of some beliefs that maybe have served you well along the way, but just don't work for you anymore. We're supposed to grow and evolve. We have to give ourselves the permission and freedom to stay open to change. I'm not talking about throwing away our core principles and values and morals. I'm talking about exactly the opposite. I'm talking about letting life's experiences affect you and mature you." You do not sound at all bitter! You are one of the most honest, giving people I have ever met.

New Year's is always a rather lame time for me (yeah, you can bet I ranted about that on my blog...). I'm glad that you're doing your best to take care of yourself and keeping moving, feeling, living, in spite of your melancholy. I'm rooting for ya! :) Feel better!

Seriously - can you do me a favor? Take your left arm and wrap it (tight) around your right shoulder. Now put your other arm on your left side and squeeze - that's me giving you a long distance hug. Cheesy, yes, but often still effective. I'm in awe of your grace through all of this and love you. I'm keeping my distance because sometimes that's the nicest thing you can do for someone who's going through this sort of thing, but you know I'm a phone call away when you're ready. And I, for one, am happy that you did post a journal entry: that's what blogs are for! xoxo Jen, you never cease to amaze me. Seriously – can you do me a favor?

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.
