Thank you. I've never thought of myself as brave.



"I may look alone in this trial, but I do not stand alone. I stand with every person, living and dead, that has told the truth and maintained that truth, even when no one believed those people except themselves and God. I stand with them to make sure that they are not alone. And we stand together -- we stand for truth."

It sounded better in my head than what I've written here, but that's not important. The important thing is that I didn't leave that court in shackles. I was freed. And that's what enabled me to release the person. I wrote him a note, saying that I released him, and that I hoped that he would be successful and one day even forgive himself for what he did to me, and possibly others.


Thank you for your suggestions. They are all very helpful.



You are most welcome. I am glad that they help.


And as far as never having thought of yourself as brave: well, now you can!

And au contraire regarding that affirmation about standing with others who stand for truth: I really, really like this--the wording, the clarity, the rhythm and when I read it out loud it helps me! So with your kind permission, I am going to use this as an affirmation for myself. I really need this right now.
Thank you! So we are even!

All the best in your continuing healing (as we all do!)


blessings,
