		<description>you have no idea how I needed this check in today, right now.  
too much to get in here, but it is enough to say I am facing that which asks I offer extra gentleness with myself.  
Instead of beating myself up, I&#039;m going to give myself MORE love, compassion, tenderness and chocolate.
oh thank-you mccabe for being nothing more or less then your honest and gorgeous self.
love to you.</description>

		<description>Actually, now that you ask, I realize that I&#039;m not being gentle with myself at all.  That&#039;s about to change.  Thanks for asking the right question.</description>

		<description>I am.  I let something go that was plaguing my brain...  Everyone wanted me to stick it out and I had to do what was right for me.  Even @ 39 it&#039;s so hard to listen to my own heart sometimes.  I did that today.  I mentally hugged myself as I did so.  HUGE!</description>

		<description>no, I&#039;ve had one of the hardest weekends i&#039;ve had in a while.. despair and laceration. luckily i bob up again into goodness. what brought me back up again tonight was the insight that i really didn&#039;t have to be down in that murk, that I was doing better than I thought - it was an optical illusion I fall into over and over again that made me think I am the most fucked-up human ever to have lived. I&#039;m teetering on the brink again - thanks for this post, maybe it will help me push myself back onto land. pretty rocks! :)</description>
