Gosh, I'm at a loss for words here. :-( I can imagine there was pain AND healing that you experienced while sitting with and exploring these memories of your teenage years for these chapters in your book! You've written beautifully and poignantly about this time in your life Marnie and I'm grateful that you've given us this window into some of these parts of you. It feels like a gift of connection. xo
Thank you Sarah. Writing and examination, albeit uncomfortable, provided a blueprint to move forward, when years of therapy couldn't. Plus, nature and vibrational essences made it possible by providing essential support, insight, and wisdom that no one else could.
You were/are so brave and you didn’t even know it. My life was nothing like that, but as a teen I thought I was abused because I couldn’t always buy or do the things I wanted and my parents were so weird. Little did I imagine what other girls were enduring. It has been eye opening as an adult to learn what so many of my friends and acquaintances experienced. Your courage to share your pain and your compassion toward your parents’ pain is a valuable education and helps me to be more open hearted. Thank you for your courage in sharing your path of amazing growth.
Thank you Jacqueline. It feels comforting and nurturing to have you witness my experience in this way. You have a natural way of making me feel held and supported.
Not sure whether I should compliment you on a wonderful piece or a damn good piece of work!! Either way, it is good stuff. As Sandy says, an absolute excellent wordsmith.
Knowing you as long as I have, I would have never dreamt that you have gone through all the things you have. Must have some interesting dharma or karma or whatever. However, you are moving forward step by step. Along with Soo Soo. Think you two are joined at the hip.
You are a brave woman in so many ways, my friend!!!
Hi Michael, thanks again for witnessing my journey!! I am certain I came here to end the cycle of generational trauma trapped in this particular lineage. I could feel healing rippling into the past and the future while I was writing and retelling my story, reflecting on the past, and in turn, remaking my life. Co-creating vibrational essences in nature unlocked the Earth's powerful and profound wisdom. I can’t wait to get to that good part of the story. It does get worse before it gets better, so thanks for hanging in there with me!
Hey Marnie, I’ve been reading your memoir. Number one, you are an absolute excellent wordsmith.
Number two, one side is so heart wrenching, but then the other side is witnessing your boldness. That’s not even the right word, I really can’t think of the word but it’s something beautiful and courageous and caring.
I remember when I met you , you were someone I wished I could be. You were beautiful and creative and always had cute boyfriends.
It’s the reminder over and over again that we never know what someone is going through.
Thank you for sharing your life, and great big fat. Congratulations on your new grandson. He will break your heart wide open and fill it with so much love ! 🥰
You are figuring out Substack! Thanks Sandy. I’m honored and my heart is happy that you are taking the time to read my story. It means so much to me! In Part 2, it totally changes gears and takes you into nature, which you will love!
