Masterpiece....I wish this song was out in my teens. You Jena have a sister who would like to see your golden repairs of precious mending smashed again apparently. I was thinking about my own life and deep betrayals I've had. My husband says it is because I am unwilling to go along with anything that does not match my values or sense of integrity that I find myself with broken relationships. So, I am taking a deep breath and saying to all the following who I've had to let go...I am broken but I have Japanese mending in many places( alas some places arent gold just ugly sodder jobs) but when it comes down to it I must stand with what I feel is right for my own integrity....To my ex friend Annette who 3 months after being your maid of honor in your second wedding and having to wear the most hideous brides maid dress at the age of 56 blocked me and then slandered me to her family all because I loathe Trump and made no bones about it on Instagram, to my ex friend Amanda whom I was always "there" for but discarded me when you moved to a gated community with friends who purchased expensive things for you and then you became a " QANON KAREN" and for both my brothers John
and Andrew who both have DON'T TREAD ON ME license plates and are weasels who do not like me and for Andrew who has always taken a special loathing of me because our birth order displeased him ( I am the oldest which agitates his Narcissim) I say...my broken pieces contain mostly gold from the wisdom I've gained. The rest is sodder which I must replace with gold...but that will take time. I am a work in progress. Masterpiece may be too strong of a word. But I do love my gold soddering. Thank you Jena. These are hard. But so darn good.
Wow what a great story. He intended to insult you, but instead your embrace of his words pointed out how twisted and turned from light he was. Imagine thinking that telling someone they have a keen sense of justice and fair play was an insult! Excellent! I am still smiling. Oh and did you know that we are all alchemists, capable of turning lead to gold?
Molly I love that you are taking these questions seriously. We don't have a lot of followers yet, so that is one reason there aren't a lot of responses. Keep going, please.
Do you have any idea why you didn't allow Mrs. D to mentor you? Why did you just let go? I remember doing something similar with a guy who wanted me to take over his magazine as managing editor but I just couldn't get excited about it. I couldn't do it, though I had the training. In retrospect, I needed to do more healing and that job would have completely consumed me. I'm eager to read more :-)
I am tickled pink that you are you as well ;-) I think you have a wonderful story to share as a result of the road you've traveled without a mentor. Those coming behind will be inspired and encouraged to hear your stories. Hugs!

All the years you lived in Japan you have put to excellent use, Jena!!
Thanks E.Jean. I learned a thing or two there - LOL
