And. for me, he has hit it on the nose.

I've spent many years on the outside of the circles I ran. On the outside of the sphere I thought I was a part of. Together, but alone.

Now, I am not in some "inner circle" of this group, but I do feel like part of the family.

My husband doesn't get this side of me, but he knows if exists. A great friend must have recognized somethng in me to bring me into this side, either that or he made a great vessel for introducing me to a place where I feel free and can just be.

I'm still afraid of new people, but I'm not afraid to wander around all of you. Sitting, listening, being around, giving and getting hugs and being welcomed, even though you may have only seen me once or twice ever. With you, I am home. A place where I can let my hair down, a place where my beliefs in the energy of life isn't "poo pooh'd", a place where names don't label us negatively; they allows us to be who and what we want to be.

Does this mean I let my guard down? Yes, why yes I do. And I love every minute of it.

Thank you.

However, I have to be a little more careful since not many of you guys live out in Las Vegas, so returning things can get a bit inconvinient...lol

I am more forgetful at these events, but thank you, I love every reason I am this way and everyone for allowing me to be so.

    It is amazing, I think we all feel loved and blesed to be part of this community; I know I do. I think it was Nation that said at his first even it felt like comming home. It rang so true to me too. Like the Tom Hanks quote in "Sleepless in Seattle" "It was like coming home... only to no home I'd even known... It was like...magic" There are SO MANY things I love about you people and this culture/society. The openness the "live and let live" mentality, the curriousity and the hugs and kisses from people you barely know or just met, not to mention the amazing greetings from your friends.

    I fell blessed every day that I have burnrers in my life. Thanks!

    "I'm still afraid of new people"......it doesn't sound like you are, and you sure don't have any reason to be with this family...this is a place where you CAN let your guard down..i'm glad you did, and glad you will. i think that's actually rule number 2, or 3 maybe?
