Hi Friends, It’s Memoir Monday, You might not be writing a memoir, but your story includes what you tell people about yourself and what you tell yourself. Be careful how you speak to yourself. Your relationship with your self is the most important relationship of all. If you can’t be honest with yourself, you can’t be honest with God and other people. Sometimes when we’ve been through emotional abuse, we’ve absorb the lies from the narcissist. The longer the abuse, the younger the impressions, the harder it might be to tell yourself the truth. This is not because we are liars, but we need to strip off the false messages we were given and remember who we were before those labels were slapped on us. This is a huge part of gaining our freedom in recovery. A good counselor and long time friends who can be an informed witness to who we really are, can help us find our authentic selves. Another tool is the Enneagram. Whatever you do to know yourself better, will bring more freedom into your life and set you free from the stories of the narc and flying monkeys. Don’t allow them to define you with their lies—know yourself and be yourself. When you write your own story, you decide how the story ends. #memoirmonday #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #story #yourstorymatters #reframe #youdecidehowthestoryends #littleredsurvivor

Hi Friends, It’s Freedom Friday! Sometimes the freedom we cry for isn’t available today. Many of us are reeling from the aftermath of forest fires, mass shootings, racism, unethical politicians, misogyny, the patriarchy and those ever lying narc exes. Some days it feels like freedom is beyond our reach due to things we can’t control. When this happens we need to focus on the details of our own lives. Viktor Frankl said freedom comes from choosing our response to disasters. Even with limited resources, we can embrace our freedom and bring comfort to our homes, friends and communities by helping one person at a time. And we can plan for the future. We can support people who are making a difference. We can reduce our carbon footprint. We can grow our own food and care for our neighbors. We can find ways to live better lives. We don’t give out of obligation, we give whatever we can because giving is a form of freedom. It allows us to acknowledge what we have and how far we’ve come and by passing some of our blessings on to others, we find we are a blessing and we are blessed. In such times we realize that everyone in the human race is connected. What happens to you affects me, but it also reminds me I am never alone. Love always brings freedom. Love is a saving the world, one person at a time. We can join the revolution or we can hide in a bunker waiting for doomsday. Hiding might sound safe, but only love will bring freedom. #freedomfriday #freedom #survivor #resilience #strength #hope #love #peace #littleredsurvivor #lovealwayswins

The dawn is still coming, Friends! News outlets are saying the House got flipped to blue here in the US—hopefully adding to our checks and balances, but we are a country divided and many of us are members of a church that is divided. We all have our reasons for voting and praying—and it’s not wrong to have an opinion, but let us remember the dream of Jesus, which I believe includes the dreams of many spiritual leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. The prayer of Jesus in John 17 is explicit and all encompassing for our needs no matter where we live: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.”
