Thank you so much again Gloria! So timely again and so supportive!
I was looking forward to attending a lunch at a friend's today and told her last week that
I could come from 12-2. Last night I got an email from her saying everyone must come at 11:30 to adhere to her schedule so she would not have to disturb herself getting up to answer the door! I felt like all the air had just gone out of my balloon of joy about the occasion. The stress that she added in doing this and strain did not lead to happiness, as you so well said. I no longer felt happy about going to this lunch...it started to feel like a business meeting with an agenda and schedule. I felt sad about it but did not go to the lunch. And when I got home tonight got an email that she had cancelled the lunch since one or two others could not make it in her time schedule either. I wrote her asking if she might consider reassessing her attendance requirements and perhaps having someone else answer the door or to leave it open since she is planning to have these potluck lunches once a month all summer adhering to her time schedule.

Also, just now I am picking up some old dreams and allowing myself to dream them and to reach for them which is very exciting. I can not spend the rest of my life doing what my father tells me to do and having my dreams trampled and crushed and killing myself slowly. We are here to follow our hearts, otherwise they break. We cannot bypass the heart. Maybe that is why people have heart bypass operations...
I'm glad you now have this link so I can send comments to this page. Love to you...
