Thank you for another lovely blog entry. I have had the same deck of animal cards for many years. I know I’ve said this before, but the more I learn about you the more you remind me of all of the things I have been through myself. I can’t stand it when plans change but particularly it really irks the heck out of me when someone is late. Even a few minutes late. Makes me nuts. I am usually early to any function or gathering or whenever I promise to be there I am there. I’ve always wondered what made me so incredibly intolerant, but I have one of the main threads of my earlier Life is something I called myself… The invisible girl. I never felt recognized seen or valued. Not just in my personal life, but especially this played out a great deal at work. I know where that wound first appeared. It was with my dad staying out late night, entertaining clients and drinking too much. And the expectation that I was daddy’s girl, but that never happened. I felt absolutely ignored and unloved. I know that’s something I have to get over. I also just recently discovered Mel Robbins work. So much of this resonates it’s pretty eerie. But welcome!
Thank you for all of this Patty! And yes - the Invisible Girl - she is a well-taught part of ourselves. I absolutely relate to your unseen girl. And I'm sorry for that pain - and am so grateful you shared it.
love you sister... feels similar and familiar to abandonment, which is such a deep wound as well as a route home to the wholeness of knowing who we are is always enough and you could never ever be alone... and I just want you to know you have your pack, you are your pack, and all you have to do is howl and trust I, and so many others seen and unseen, will be right there... <333
Thank you! I know all this and yet, when those moments arrive, to work through it, with it - especially with my pack - that is the gift. As hard as it is, as icky as it is... it is a gift. Love doing this work with you!
