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

Ha, a blast from the past.

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.
