Coming Out from Behind the Curtain

Having always been (and will always basically be) an introvert and socially shy and “inept”, it was exhilarating to begin peeking out from behind the curtain of codependency and inadequacy and take some steps into the shallow water of an individual selfhood, but learning to have and enforce boundaries, especially emotional boundaries in primary relationships, would often make me “run backstage”.
 
Being “thankful” does not begin to touch my depth of love and gratitude for Spirit’s gratuitous Love, guidance, and provision of the support of a Spiritual Companion, Therapist, and the practice of Centering Prayer as I journeyed along.  And despite not being able to fully understand another’s journey or even agree with it all, I was lovingly supported by my daughters, my siblings, and many growing friendships.
