Update on the chaos

Hubby and I are talking about the recommitment ceremony.  I have some ideas.  I want to have the wedding rings cleansed and consecrated, we are writing our own vows.  We meet with my high priestess on Thursday.  We are continuing in therapy.  There are still some issues that we need to work on.  We have serious communication problems.  I will say something and he will say almost the exact thing back, but somehow have a different take on it.

I am also dealing with my past abuse issues.  I did extensive work about 23 years ago, including 2 years in day treatment.  I'm now in a place where I'm ready to work on the residual issues some more.  My therapist is using EMDR.  I'm amazed at how it works.  It reminds me a lot of doing shamanic journeywork, only internally.  The issue we worked on at my last session has changed in my everyday life.  It involved a shame issue and I was able to move past the shame and achieve the goal I set for myself.  I'm looking forward to doing more work with this therapist, both personally and in my marriage.

My kidlette is now 18.  What a journey it's been.  She is an incredible young woman, and I'm so proud of her.

My glass is now in a local shop.  I've sold a piece and I'm doing a craft show in November.  We got a tile saw and I'm looking at how to make my work area as waterproof as possible.
