Putting up walls...

The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way.
The worst walls are the ones you put there.

— Ursula K. Le Guin (American novelist whose works spanned nearly sixty years. Le Guin received recognition for The Left Hand of Darkness in 1969, and by the 1970’s was among the best known writers in the filed. She won eight Hugo awards, 6 Nebula’s, twenty-two Locus awards and in 2003 became the second woman honoured as a Grand Master of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. The US Library of Congress named her a Living Legend in 2000, and in 2014, she won the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters).

My favourite therapists says one of our biggest obstacles is the conditioning from childhood, which can hold us captive to patterns that no longer suit (i.e. communication styles, or lack-there-of, conflict avoidance, whatever our parents tended to do). I’ve spent quite a bit of time dismantling this old house and it’s a process, that’s for sure. The rewards, for me at least, have been monumental. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO
