Hi CJ! COOL AVATAR!!!

I thought about your post and I think that the reason I keep coming back to this forum is because

trying to understand more of myself and this world seems to be about building up a relationship to all of the ideas I see discussed here.

Amidst some fun, light hearted things -----the posts all seem to point to:
Honesty and self-responsibility.
The writing voices here remind me that self-responsibility isn't about SELF at all but about being there for eachother

---- this because You all have a lot of compassion in your hearts...it comes through in your writing :

These perspectives help me when I'm struggling not to slip into a resentful self-centered
perspective---it's how I always dealt with upsets in the past <like a mechanism>- and always ends up
feeling creepy and dumb.

So I guess I like to come here because I don't want to feel creepy and dumb ever again.

---------so that must be a long way to say: I VOTE FOR ALL THE REASONS TOO!------- Tea-cake

Definitely All of the Above!! Sally said is so eliquently as always!
I am not a number counter, and maybe I should not say this, but I am. I have posted several times previous about this. We can thank what ever gods that be for this forum!!!! I think that a lot of us "put our two cents worth in" and hope it helps some of our sisters. I know that I can not be alone in this, but girls you have helped me beyond your wildest imaginations. There have to be others who have been able to keep their feet on the path because of the love and empathy expressed here. I don't want to tear up again, but you ladies are wonderful!
Love ya all,
Deborah
