Lynn, I guess this shouldn't have surprised me, but it does. You've been doing such an amazing job here, you radiate confidence and light. It heartens me to see a fellow "potently insecure" person shining so bright with hope and positive strength.

It's a huge step (takes enormous will and discipline) to be willing and able to believe the good (which is more often the REAL truth about ourselves) feedback rather than to immediately dismiss the positive stuff as impossible (the dismissal being the real lie).

You do indeed shine. [Cool] I know because my life has brightened considerably since meeting you. And that's the truth.
