*Breaking ground* My first try at the work--Sprout for Bev

[Guest guest]

Hey Bev,

So happy to hear from you. During my lurking weeks on this list I found so

much *truth* for myself in your workings. I took courage from your questing

inquiries and chose to believe that if you were so settled here then I might

find a little stool to squat on and learn something's too. I am grateful

that you took time to honor my request for guidance.

Dear Sprout,

**I loved you the moment I read your introduction letter. --Thanks for this,

Bev.

** I get itchy skin associated with stress, too. --I wouldn't wish it on a

dog.LOL ( gotta check into this dog thing I have attached to! LOL) Thanks

for this information. Somehow, I feel a bit less worried about myself

learning that this response to stress has it's rightful place.

** Welcome to the list--Thanks again. I welcome the connection with you and

all the others on the list. I am finding great value in the honesty and the

guts of everyone as they delve into theirs and my discovery.

Bev, sweetheart, I don't hear you being gentle with yourself when you yell

" NOW!!!! "

Maybe that's an incorrect assumption on my part.

--------Thank you for following my process with such awareness, Bev! I have

to clarify and explain the incongruousness that you have detected here.I

sure can't claim to be neglected or abandoned by you, now can,I? LOL I

really appreciate you.

Here's what happened: I went through the Work format answering the four

main questions and after I completed them I went back to the beginning to

check in and see if I had put it all down the way it truly felt. This

*yelling * part from my little sproutling as I call her was consistent with

her rage from the preceding segment. I got the *KEY* or *aha*/story release

the second time through. Everything in me went soft and gentle and I found

myself connecting, so I wrote the shift into the place where it occurred

during the second reading,which places it before this original demand for

NOW!!! " When reading the segment through with the shift one would tend to

wonder what is with the harshness, I agree.

Hope you can follow how it unfolded. :-)

Thank you again,Bev. What a blessing you and the others are.

Sincerely,

*Sprout*
