Life in retrospect

Because we moved into a much smaller area everything we took had to be scrutinized carefully. Was it necessary. I am somewhat a packrat, though I have been letting go a lot lately especially in the last few years. My next few blogs will contain things I wrote 10 years ago when I began a healing journey. It was the very first steps I took outside of myself to look so there is a lot of irony.

Trust Me

Trust, do you give it or do you take it? Is trust a feeling? According to Scott, Foresman, Beginning Dictionary the main themes running through all seven definitions is; belief, truth, justice, faith, rely on, hope, and duty or responsibility.

Trust plays a strong role in our lives. It is established at birth. From the moment of our first breath we inadvertently put ourselves in the trust of our caregivers. This trust is the basis of our hierarchy of self awareness. We trust in others to provide us food, warmth , and shelter as children. As we mature we usually proceed towards self awareness entrusting our caregivers, teachers and Ourselves.

It is when this trust is broken that we begin to struggle. Lies, roadblocks, stress and neglect of ones duty to others or oneself can send us in a whirlwind in search of the very basic needs of care.
