This study is jut what I need right now with the loss of a teaching job at a Christian school where I was the last to know-after parents and students. Feeling like a punching bag for Christians. Two more school days where I need to wear the mask and pretend to be happy instead of sad, bruised and bleeding.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019766200740081876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517202859417935219.post-4812935470553198622012-06-10T19:05:11.264-05:002012-06-10T19:05:11.264-05:00Visiting from Grace for the Good Girl group.

It's hard for me to read that so many young women are so pressured to be so perfect...and I thought it was hard for me. Tried to give a comment to one young person and also connect with one about my age...small steps...can't reach everyone.

I have felt so trapped for so long by all the things I was supposed to do an be. When my daughter came along and I could no long live with myself and do the things I though I was "supposed" to do it threw me for a big loop, but a good one. Doing this book this summer is the next step in that I think. So grateful for such an amazing community already!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284265657553153315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517202859417935219.post-68773477781175336702012-06-07T20:13:58.167-05:002012-06-07T20:13:58.167-05:00This is a beautiful post.

Your words have brought tears tonight - I do hope you'll continue to work through the difference between the voice of the good girl and the voice of God. <br /><br />Thanks again for your honesty.emily freemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13094011385792878344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517202859417935219.post-27371488770745743132012-06-07T19:15:29.270-05:002012-06-07T19:15:29.270-05:00Touching comments, Julie Anna.

The book is really resonating with me. At 63, I recognized long ago that I have always sabotaged myself with fear of failure. Most of the time I do not try things that I don't think I will be really good at. I set out in life to be an artist and got sidetracked by marriage and life with a brief stint as a graphics artist. After reading the first chapter, I bought a notebook and started writing things down. Not sure where it will lead but it felt good to do something. I am determined to move a step forward toward my true self with each new day (about time huh!). Today my daughter posted a beautiful message - how in her independence she had not allowed herself to be a "girl" - she has 4 boys + a husband in her life. She felt that maybe she had missed some "girl" time with me. Funny that she would decide to become more like me because I always want to be more like her. :)Mary Dubberleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517202859417935219.post-8197706234306868042012-06-07T19:13:05.394-05:002012-06-07T19:13:05.394-05:00it is indeed kasey. thanks for sharing.it is indeed kasey. thanks for sharing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13929668949379387864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-517202859417935219.post-16392881572766344642012-06-07T18:23:55.232-05:002012-06-07T18:23:55.232-05:00Julie, thanks for sharing your post with all of us...Julie, thanks for sharing your post with all of us over on Facebook. I struggle with "supposed to" as well. If you are still looking for a small thing you can do right now (instead of trying to strangle the good girl as Emily put it) someone once told me to try to reframe my thinking and teach myself to say "I choose to" instead of "I'm supposed to" when thinking about things. I don't know what the outcome of that is for others but it's turned some of the things I'm "supposed to" do into things I no longer "choose to" do - which is a lovely freedom!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168607700397116419noreply@blogger.com
