got a great step 9 story1!!


 

got a great step 9 story for you:

 

this lady up the street and I had a falling out and we avoided each other and it was just as much me as it was her so I just decided that we need more love and light in this neighborhood so I knocked on her door and asked her if I could have a moment with her??

She was so shocked, she invited me in and I told her that I reject my part in our separation and I am sorry for the nasty things I said to her, that is NOT the human being I want to be and I asked for her forgiveness..She was so shocked  (I kept the focus on ME and MY part)  but I wanted it gone and she hugged me and told me it took a big heart to do what I did and she hugged me and said "thank you for caring enough to get with me"  and we chatted and had a nice visit....

 She likes yoga so we are gonna do some yoga together..

I was scared, but that step 8/9 was a goodie!!!  we DO need more love and light in this world and I want to be a purveyor of that , not the negative....I feel so free, doing that...

 

I was a nervous wreck..Didn't know how she would receive me, but heck!! we are NEIGHBORS and I thought  "this is wrong to be estranged from folks that are basically good over some BS that I don't even remember"

 

so yea, i kissed my fears and went for it

 

thought you would like my little step 9 story
