wow, thanks so much, Jo An! That's a beautiful message!

May I suggest (well, here I go anyway before waiting for an answer...!) - being mindful of your language. EG above - how about "So true, and I'm getting better at changing to better responses every day." And "I'm going to follow your advice" (skip "try" - that word takes your power and stomps all over it!).

If you can print off this article, or make note of the parts that resonate with you and stick them where you can see them daily, say those parts over and over to yourself. It will literally create new paths in your brain, new patterns of thought. Repetition works!!! Just be patient and keep at it. You can change any of this if you want it enough. :)
