Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here. If you feel comfortable, I’d love to invite you to introduce yourself. You don’t have to answer everything. Just share what feels right. • What drew you to this group? • In what ways do you notice people-pleasing showing up in your life? • What feels most challenging for you right now? • What are you longing for more of in your life? • If you could feel one thing more consistently, what would it be? (peace, freedom, confidence, ease, self-trust… or something else) There’s no need to present yourself in any particular way here. You’re welcome as you are.

Spend some time feeling deeply, sensing the world around you and not minimizing your experience. Remember that you are legitimate.

Love After Love The time will come when, with elation you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other's welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.
