Inner Dialogue

The men in my life in the last couple of years have all taught me valuable lessons that I hope someday will help me to become a much better partner. Seems like post-divorce I had to learn all of these things all over again. As I look over the list, they include things that I always tell those around me, but for some reason didn't really apply to myself.

Paul: how to redefine myself as a single woman
Kevin: that it is ok to open myself up emotionally and take a risk, even if it hurts sometimes
Bill: that it is ok to let a gentleman treat me like a lady, and that it was not only ok, but should be expected
Murad: how to break through mental barriers and have fun
Ron: how to just be
Greg: how to let myself be more spontaneous
Joe: how to trust someone enough to try new things
my Dad: how to face adversity with grace and determination to make sure the right thing is done
