I recently discovered that making peace, starts first with self. I had to forgive myself for making some chooses that I thought were in the best interest of family and future. I allowed people to take advantage of me and now I had to take a long look at why this has been a pattern. The first step was taking responsibility for my part in the offenses. I discovered that I was trying so hard to be accepted, that I gave more of my time,money and effort. I now know that in order to have healthy relationships you have to be present and gifts do not make relationships. Acts are the core of all relationships and mutual understanding is the foundation. I am learning to verbalize getting my needs met and meeting my own needs.
The healing process has started and it's been refreshing to embrace the person I was so terrified to be. Vulnerability was never been a character trait that I would have ever identified as a strength, but when you are seeking to be authentic that is the most significant characteristic. At this time I feel balanced and for the first time in a long time PEACE.
