Most of the comments from the past seem the same: "feel like I live in a bubble" |"square peg in round hole" |few Christian friends, expectation to shut up, I have the comments from pastor from 2004: "can't have close friends because I expect too much empathy" I don't remember this at all but there was enough other things to lose track of this. "very hard on people, expect too much, but I am harder on myself and need to relax" "when people don't meet your needs you hurt them - do you know you do this?" Therapist 2004: Two Vicki's - soft Vicki - sees, feels, hears, wants validation. after time with no result hard Vicki protects by forcing the issue Use "I feel" statements rather than "I think" "Note: do people want you to get mad? Don't let them use hard Vicki for their benefit as soft Vicki pays the price". March 23 2009 retreat at St Joh

April 15 2008 I have started to network a bit - some leads will be fruitless others will be very good indeed. I went to a prayer breakfast for the Global Day of Prayer and met an older female pastor from a neighbouring church. They are getting on board with creating a team to decide how to be more community minded. I am very excited to see where this will lead, particularly as my own church is not quite there yet.
