Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'm sorry but I cant " stay in line " anymore. I've tried to stay in line with the other ants and what happens is I end up covering over my true self. Remember on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer how his red nose couldnt help but just POP out! No matter how hard he tried to cover it up, it just persisted. I've just amazed myself in the past few weeks with " speaking out. " And it feels good, dammit! Onward on this journey.........sorry, I wont conform! Namaste, Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Good for you for speaking out, Deb! I loathe the song/story about Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer. Someone who is different is tormented by his peers, until he gets some power, then everyone sucks up to him. What an awful message for our kids. -----Original Message-----From: IntuitiveEating_Support [mailto:IntuitiveEating_Support ] On Behalf Of paquillerSent: Thursday, December 17, 2009 7:24 AMTo: IntuitiveEating_Support Subject: Like little marching ants I'm sorry but I cant "stay in line" anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 OK Deb, you got me wondering - who/what is encouraging you to 'conform' and how? Is this just a general remark post or has something here clicked on you specifically? I too am definitely a non-conformist and rugged individualist too! I am thankful for my 'rebellion' or I wouldn't have been able to see, let alone do, IE!! Keep your chin up and go happily forth. We is humans, tain't ants!! ;-) ehugs, Katcha IEing since March 2007 > > I'm sorry but I cant " stay in line " anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi everybody, I teach piano and I'm teaching a 5 1/2 year old right now; just fyi, he informs me that Santa Claus is real, elves may be made up, and his favorite reindeer is, sigh, Rudolph :.)

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hi Katcha! Sorry, this is one of those times where it's hard to discern the intention of my post from the written word. where I was coming from had nothing to do with what anyone said or did here - it was more of a general statement - it was sort of an awakening in myself. All the conforming I've done in my life was self created. So it just feels good that I'm breaking away from it. Love Deb > > > > I'm sorry but I cant " stay in line " anymore.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Hey Harry, That's funny, I dont look at the story the same way. The message I get from the Rudolph story is more like a celebration of differences! > > Good for you for speaking out, Deb! > I loathe the song/story about Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Good for you Deb, and sorry if I didn't understand right at first - oops! Typed posts are a challenge to 'say' what one wants and in a way that it is received as 'sent' '-) ehugs, Katcha IE since March 2007 > > > > > > I'm sorry but I cant " stay in line " anymore.
