The Inner Writer Responds to the Inner Critic...
What the Inner Critic said:
If you had any sort of self-respect, you would have never let yourself, your life, get into such terrible shape to begin with.
This is what the Inner Critic said to me. What do you think, Inner Writer?
I think you have great self-respect, you have made so many courageous changes in your life to get to where you are now. Just think of what you've done. You had the courage to go away to college when no one thought you should, and you had the courage to know when it was time to stop going when everyone thought you should keep on. You had the courage to move to Oregon and have that time in your own space and time. You had the courage to leave here, a good job, a marriage, the support of your family, and strike out on your own in a huge unfamiliar city. You THRIVED there, just like in Michigan, just like in Oregon, you took advantage of the opportunities you had and created an incredible life. And then you had the courage to know when to leave, when to come back home, but to somehow keep the energy and expansiveness of the life you had there and bring it back with you. You've settled into a warm and safe place here, and from that warm and safe place you're able to explore the entire world, the entire possibility of worlds, and still know you have a place to come back to. If you can do all of that in less than 20 years, trust me, you can't yet imagine where you'll go in the next 20 years with all of the strength and wisdom and courage you've gained along the way.

First I would like to thank Emily for hosting this tele-conference. I typically don't join things like this, preferring to suffer in my own silence, or noise w/the inner critic. But WOW!I am so glad I joined and heard others and their struggles w/their inner critics. It's reassuring to know I am not weird different or alone. Thank you for your support and guidance dear Emily.
As for my inner Writer's response;
You are champagne and strawberries, delcious and bubbly. Everything you do is golden, light and beauty, tasteful. Your imagination soars and bubbbles to the surface, infusing all who see you with the baurty of your soul. There is nothing you will not attempt, your spirit of adventure and curiosity is beauty personified. Never stop dreaming and daring, you can't fail becasue like the bubbles in a mangnum of champagne you continue to draw up from the inner well that is deep inside. This well is bottomless in its source of love and devtotion to the creative genius you are. You are connect othte well source/spring that has created each and everything. Never doubt your creative genius because you spring from the divine well. And so it is!
