Fearing the unknown within myself has kept me crouching in a corner. I look to see who I am and discover much that is worthy.
I create a home that is a safe and nurturing place for me, where I am free to gather myself.
I am filled with truth at my center where I once held shame.
I am empowered by self-knowledge, by ownership of my experiences, and by all aspects of myself.
As we move away from the old role in which we were helplessly entrapped as a victim, we make friends with the people who affirm us. Their enthusiasm about us mirrors the positive experience we are having.
I value and honor the way that my suffering brings me to further search and surrender.
I choose to let positive attitudes lighten my being today.
I am building a healthy support system and learning to use it readily.
I am a whole person and have the potential to bring together all the different aspects of myself.
I choose what sort of relationship I want to have with my family of origin today.
It is not my wish to stay home so much that I become isolated, but to use the comforting influence of my home to restore and gather myself after each step I take in my expanding ability to participate in the world.
I look upon the gift of my life as a wondrous journey.
