She's not a lesson...she's a paradigm shifter! :-) Knew you HAD to be joking....where would we be without our morning "cup of ambition?" Happy to be on the same drift with you, dear. @Donna, Goddess love you for having a pre-teen. She’s not a lesson…she’s a paradigm shifter! :-)

Knew you HAD to be joking….where would we be without our morning “cup of ambition?”

Happy to be on the same drift with you, dear.

Faber Wed, 27 May 2009 22:46:41 +0000 http://www.symbolic-meanings.com/?p=1539#comment-1666 Yes, I get your drift. "I frequently pull thought-strings about control issues that can make a caffeine-narcotic-addled banjo player look sedated." This is my favorite quote from your posting, and the one I relate to the most. It took more than five years of non-stop craziness (= enduring & comprehensive change) in my life before I even considered surrendering some of my control issues, which, for me, was a lot like trying to tread quick sand. Eventually, under duress (and repeated lessons), I found that my control issues were the biggest illusion of all. Granted, I'm sure there are still plenty at play, but it's much better for me now. I mean, how can a woman have a pre-teen and not grapple with control. Perhaps this is the ultimate test. Keeping one's cool as the beloved pre-teen seeks to spread her wings in a dangerous world. If I had one bit of advice, what would it be? Stop drinking caffeinated beverages. HA! Just kidding ... :) D~ <3 Yes, I get your drift.
