Glad you gained entry and that you got a stirring tale of triumph through persistence out of it. Reminded me Robert the Bruce and his spider's web, with a touch of Lao Tzu too.

I was starting to wonder if I’d be under the bus shelter for the night, even though a fella was eyeing me suspiciously from there like I was trying to break in. 😂😂

Oh thank you. As you probably know (cause I know you’ve read a few things of mine) I vary my style/content. I know people always say you should niche but it’s never worked for me because I want to explore all of me, you know? Try all I want to try. When I write things in this kind of style they’re usually lessons/messages I’ve had that I hope may help others too. Glad it spoke to you Tara X

I’m so glad your tenacity paid off and you got inside out of the rain Julie. Your experience and message is a powerful reminder that we each hold the key to our own transformation.

Thank you. I haven’t written anything like that for a while but I was feeling quite philosophical and when I do, I try to convert my experiences into lessons, see a point.

Julie, I can definitely relate to those darn childhood voices. They never go away. I'm so happy to see that you were able to find the solution. Believe in yourself.

Absolutely. I was always told I was clumsy, messy, that you couldn’t take me anywhere.

These things stay with you.

This is alchemy in action, Julie! Turning a stressful and uncomfortable experience into a lesson filled with wisdom. Thank you. So glad you got in!

Thanks. The next night I heard a fella on the phone to someone about the exact same thing. He couldn’t get in either! It wasn’t me at all! Yes, I always try and find a lesson in a situation, whatever that may be. Try to grow. :)
