I went home two years in a row for the first time in almost 15 years. It felt great and as a result I have a much better sense of connection and continuity with the place and all of my loved ones who stil reside there. This is DEFINITELY worth working on.

much much better at this

I am happy to report that when I started looking within for answers I started not only to love myself more but also to appreciate all the people in my life MORE for who they are and LESS for what I had wanted them to be for so long. My dad is no exception and I have realized that he is great, however beautifully flawed.
it's all about suspending the ego

I have gotten much better at this. I still have to pick and choose what’s right for me but I am much better at listening to others’ perspectives on my life and using them as teachers and guides with their own sense of wisdom. This is worth working on!
