Firstly, you are not a drama queen just a human being who feels things deeply with passion and the rest of the world can only wish to be within sniffing distance of such a wonderful species. (I include myself in this group as I have several times been given the nomenclature myself.) I am reading (very slowly as this is good stuff and my brain needs time to take it all in) John F. Demartini's book and your blog reminded me of something I had read. "Wisdom is the instantaneous recognition that a crisis is a blessing, and even greater wisdom recognizes that blessings can also trigger a crisis. When we truly understand that, we're less likely to be upset about difficulties or elated about opportunities; we remain centered no matter what happens around us....Balance is neither pessimism or optimism. All things are balanced and when you know it, you remain true to yourself." Pages 11-12 Breakthough Experience. I also say to myself "this too shall pass", making a little mantra out of it and you know what? It does.

Why is it that we are all so much more willing to forgive other people and to treat them with compassion than we are to do the same to ourselves? Please don't beat yourself up any more. Yes, maybe you made a mistake, but that doesn't undo all the good that you do in your work every day; helping people to get just a little bit closer to achieving their own bit of Big Peace! As someone who has got so much from your blog and website, I just want to say thank you and keep tuning in to that inner coach. Oh, Susie!

I think that life learns as much from you, as ýou from life! If everybody dared feel like you do and go where you go, we would be a planet of super humans. You are such an amazing woman.
