Trish and Dave! Is not knowing we are afraid to discover the "real me" in itself a part of the "real me". The real me is afraid, I discover that, and process...
When I am out growing fear.....I a, certainely not outgrowing fear. Peace, Danny S Thats too good not to have been thought of before. But you can quote me on...
Finding out about myself was just one of many fears. I still need God to help me when I get lost in a strange city(big fear especially when dark) or any number...
That's it exactly Danny, these disparate fears seem to have consolidated into a fear of being me, which is real, and is the real me. I am not trying to second...

On the general subject of fear, I believe for me it can mostly be traced to a lack of trust or if you like faith, that I will be safe. Fear, paranoia and...
Elsie, I don't see anything wrong with sharing through e-mail, provided it is done prudently with someone who has earned your trust. The 12 & 12 in the chapter...
