Waiting with baited breath Part 2

Yesterday I wrote about giving my finished book to the man I wrote most of it about and waiting to see if he would still talk to me.

No, seriously I wrote about him from a place of love but it was also from a place of truth, my truth and that is really scary sometimes. We all know sometimes the truth hurts and it was definitely not my intention to hurt him.

But I needed to speak my truth,to be brutally honest about my while life, like it or not, here it is. Well, I heard from him yesterday and he was almost done with it. Okay that's a good sign, at least it kept his intrest!

But he said it hurt him to read it, when I asked why,  he said one reason was that he didn't realize how much pain I went through in my life and that made him sad and the other reason  was because looking back there was many things we could have both changed, but we were young and stupid and definitely hard headed.

Yes, life could have took us on a totally different path...but you play the cards you are dealt and you make the best of them. Hopefully you learn the lessons you are supposed to, to grow and move on.

He told me he was proud of me for being such a great writer and that I had enough courage to put my whole life out there for others to read and to judge. I finally let out a breath of relief... it was okay, it was better than okay, he liked it, he really liked it!
(okay that was a little like Sally Fields Oscars speech, so sue me! I am excited as she was! )
(*if your under 40 Youtube it!*)

If you read my blog you know I don't care what anyone says about me the only opinion I worry about is God's but I am human and we all have some people in our lives that we care what they think. I knew my kids and my friends knew my truth, but I didn't know if my truth would hurt him and yes, I cared about his reaction.

So now I can move on to the next journey God has in store for me, knowing that it is okay, that I finally spoke my truth, I learned my lessons and I am free to let it all go....

So today my friends, I tell you again...speak your truth, set yourself free, it's amazing the feeling you get when all of your secrets are out, when you have nothing to hide or nothing to be ashamed of! Here you are, shiny and new again, starting over with a wealth of knowledge and joy and peace in your heart... it's amazing!

Trust me, finally let out your baited breath, it's going to be okay, it's going to me more than okay!
