You said " Sometimes we are showing up for people the way we would want them to show up for us, and the relationship still isn’t where we’d like it to be. That’s not what we’re talking about here today. That’s another newsletter." Please write that newsletter :)

Can't wait for the other newsletter. Nedra you look FANTASTIC those legs!!!

These are perfect reflective questions. And perfect timing since I'm working on this in therapy currently. I'm BIG on reciprocated relationships. All of my friends say I give 1000% ,24/7 availability, willing to drive /fly wherever for others when they need me at drop of a hat,and then others show less except for the ppl who really are ride or die.

I recently had a friend tell me that I want to be loved and I give a lot of love to the point where my willingness to be open to others and too much availability, generosity,causes me to be taken advantage of and my therapist agreed last week and she added my perfectionism and caregiving behaviors, with underlying anger gets in the way and keeps me stuck from making progress to get to the proper love I want reciprocated.

I want peace, joy, intellectual stimulation, education, decency, matched effort/values, consideration, nurturing, laughter, and global unified faith in Jah to be the foundation, and clear honest communication is that too much to ask for? Thanks Nedra this piece will be discussed in my session today
