A metaphorical door has opened, and I am feeling more like a whole person. “Why is that?” Freedom to be who we really are, open and honest. Free from guilt, becomes a self-gifting experience. Always being truthful and honest, in all our communications, no matter what, is a gift we give ourselves; letting the chips fall where they may!
It is all too easy to cover up, to make up stories, as to our blunders! “Then we do what?” We make up more stories, to cover up our stories. We have become, pitiful!
It has been said, “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when deception is conceived!” And it’s true! An ongoing cover-up.
Why not face the music? Coming through with an honest explanation, asking for forgiveness, if need be, setting ourselves free through this process, moving into the future with a clear conscience? “Yay!”
Here I am, living in Jackson Hole, Wyoming thinking, "What can I tell you about my life and my own experiences?" Having grown up in Houston, Texas, then moving to Dallas, where my children grew up. We were fortunate enough to have a second home in Jackson Hole. At 84 now, I am over-read on self-help information. Self-awareness and being, or becoming more aware of my own behavior, as it relates to myself and then to others, is where my thinking and doing takes me. I'm about moving forward, for acknowledging to addressing today's problems, and what we can do to make a difference. It's important! At this point, I am only the messenger, offering solutions to the current suicide and drug crisis among our young people, in today's world; with a pathway to follow. Check out my website: tamingthewildhorses.com Currently, I am working at The Historic Wort Hotel's gift shop. Also, volunteer at our Senior Center. I enjoy being at home, cooking, having a garden (a good thinking and writing place), being with friends exploring the landscape, (which is amazing in Jackson Hole) and checking out our thrift stores. In just a couple of weeks, I'll be driving to Denver to be grandma to my teenage granddaughters for a month. In October, I'll be in Houston for a book-signing event for, "Taming the Wild Horses. Then back to my regular routine here in Jackson Hole. "Happy Trails Everyone!" B. Louise Bayer/Martens
