Sharing a Glimmer
Wanting to share a win today with the CB community. I'm sobbing right now (in a good way) over something that is really small but is landing in a really big way. I was feeling a little down today, my tween activated at the moment. Then my husband sent me a a local event he saw posted for Lunar New Year this weekend that he thought we should attend. And the tears hit because 1- my sweet husband is thinking of me and trying to celebrate with me, and 2- for the first time my first thought wasn't "is it ok if I'm there?" I can't find the words right now to describe how huge that 2nd thing is for me. It's evidence that the work I've been doing to connect with my ancestors and identity is truly integrating. I just can't stop crying. 😂😭 So so so grateful for this work and this community and everything it's growing within me. 🥹

“Proof culture is demonic”
Monday Musing: I’m sitting with this reel as a thought exercise. (If religion is a turn off, change the players in this story. ) I appreciate that if you need to prove your identity, then you’re not confident of it. Cycle breaking is about embodying who you really are and loving every messy part, with compassionate accountability. Proof feels like the adaptive t/ween trying to find belonging and approval. Do you ever make your Self prove your worthiness? How does it feel in your body? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUbCacDEasd/?igsh=MXF1Y3BmbWRzNndoMg==

Currently a way it shows up in my life us with misunderstanding with a partner. In conflict he wants me to explain so he can understand why I did the thing that was hurtful to him. In that situation I feel put on the spot and like I need to prove to him that I did not have bad intentions or explain how I feel to make him feel at ease. And meanwhile I want to feel cared for also when I can't explain how I feel. I feel good communication and repair around/after the situations though

Welcome, Cycle Breakers! Do this first…
1. Breathe. In case you feel overwhelmed with all the posts, just breathe. Take your time. You're exactly where you're supposed to be, and the feelings are all breadcrumbs. Everything here is optional. 2a. Introduce yourself in the comments here with a story of your name. It might include some cultural context 2b. Share a hope/goal for being a Cycle Breaker. 3. Go into classroom and watch “Start Here”, where it will tell you some guidelines about this community. Reminder: You’re here for you—to figure YOU out and to be in a space where people are learning to be authentic with healthy boundaries and communicating in non violent ways.

Hi. My name is Anne. In kindergarten I was always called by my full name, Anne Morgen Mark, because there were three Anne's. There was Anne, Anne M, and Anne Morgen Mark. Later when I was at boarding school one of my friends always called me by my full name because she thought it was so beautiful, and she promised if she could ever name a street it would be by my name. Many of my friends are international, and the Danish Anne has a weird Danish E that sounds like Ø, and not many foreigners can say the sound. So I usually go by similar names. Anna feels more similar than Anne, because it has two syllables. I have had several boyfriends who never learned how to say my Danish name, and I didn't learn their either. It has not really bothered me though. If I meet someone at a party who says they are bad at remembering names, I always present myself as Anna Banana. That usually helps. The Banana Anna. In a friend group of mine I am known as Panda, and I am very fond of hearing that name. Maybe because it's a friend group making festivals in different places, and many of the people I don't see often. So I have often heard the name when entering a room or place, and someone sees me and expresses my name with surprise and excitement to see me. Paaandaaa :) :) :) Hopes and goals; Live with more respect and curiosity for everyone and everything I meet every day.

Recipes that give you comfort
Inspired by Judy's music post, I am longing for new comfy recipes. Anything from soups and stews and dinner recipes to snacks or bakery. Let me know your favorites. This is someting I want to try and bake soon. My brother buys then and they are some of the best cookies I've tried. https://blog.giallozafferano.it/mammaluisa/biscotti-extra-dark/

@Joan A natto! You are so hardcore! I would eat it for breakfast sometimes when I lived in Japan. I have to admit I haven't missed it much 😅
