Beautifully discussed. I often feel I don't go far enough when telling my own story. I hold back and have a note on my desk that says, "What else? What's true?" I have to really push to find the truth in how I feel about a situation and find the story within it.

Thank you and thank you for being here. For me, there is always a real tension about how far to push things. I always have to back to my purpose for writing in the first place and ask will pushing the line on this story serve that purpose? I hope that helps.

Thankyou for sharing this story so beautifully. It's a very good question about going too far. The things I have already written here push the boundary of what I felt like should be written about my own story, however, I have seen that I am meant to go all the way, so I must keep on pushing through each step. A little further, and further, until all limitations drift away.

Thank you for your kind words. So beautifully said. We all need to figure out what’s right for us and our situation.

Absolutely... it's a process, it changes also, just by being, by showing up.
