“Two roads diverged in a wood and I - I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”    Robert Frost Occasionally I get taken over by a wave of sadness that dumps me into an ocean of deep disappointment that is often hard to surface from.  When I go inward to investigate what’s going on, I find that it’s often connected to a part of me, I’ll call it my “conformity part” (we all have this part by the way!) alerting me that a breach of living may have occurred as I have veered off normal, expected and accepted paths.   It prompts me to course-correct immediately!   Only it’s not that considerate.   More often it comes with a flood of shame or a sense of regret or sometimes loudly with one of my permanent resident negative beliefs chiming in and shouting, “you have failed!” I have been veering off from normal and expected paths since I can remember.   And truth be told, life veered me off “normal” long ago havin...

My relationship is fizzling and I find myself analyzing what's going on and if I should continue with it.   Now before my close friends get concerned, I'm not talking about my actual relationship.  Thankfully all is well with my love!
