Fascinating. Are you familiar with “The Four Agreements?” I recommend it to anyone. Broad thesis is how we -all of us -are deeply damaged by childhood, and if we can agree to four things, we can begin a real journey of healing.

The Four Agreements are:

Be impeccable with your word.
Don’t take anything personally.
Don’t make assumptions.
Always do your best.

While the new age movement (NAM) has glommed onto this book with all four feet, there is nevertheless a LOT of wisdom in it for the rest of us who may not subscribe or fully subscribe to many of the ideas of the NAM.

The individual we have encountered has a very thin skin and this is a problem for so many of us who have led damaged childhoods. I sincerely wish that individual well. Every one of his/her posts drips with pain and self defense that seems impenetrable, even to those of us who seek to take that extra time pleaded for on that one’s profile page.

You are a treasure to us all, greeneyes! Thanks for bringing this to my attention!

No I had not heard of the 4, but certainly good advice. You are welcome. Have a great day-I’m off to get a little work done. Catch you later, I’m sure.
