    Thank you Walt for your reply. I read this 3 times. This is so profound and gives me hope. I am sure I will come back to points 1and 2 as I continue this awareness journey. I appreciate that last statement, which gives me much encouragement.

    I actually stumbled up on Leo while searching the web for ways of letting go. I watched the video Four Ways of Letting Go by Ajahn Brahm on You Tube and one of Leo's videos was listed. I fell in love with his presentation style and the information and instruction made sense to me. Depression, low self esteem, lack of life purpose are some of the main reasons I wanted to get Into personal development. I have shared some of my story in my journal that I have never been able to express to anyone. I have been doing personal development about 6 months. It seems that I am the oldest in this forum, yet I am still alive, and I want life to be the best.

    Personal Challenges I Have Overcome:

    1-Typed this page. {hate to type}

    2-Joined a gym, attend 3 times a week.

    3-Meditate daily at least 20 minutes.

    4- Shared personal information on this site.

    What I Am Working On Now:

    1- Acceptance, letting go of the past, living in the now.

    2-Awareness

    3- Peace throughout this life journey no matter what is going on.

    I am a 61 year old, widowed, retired Social Worker, mother of 3 adults. After my husband of 37 years died in a car accident, I became involved with my former husband. Well that did not work out. What was I thinking? Now I see that I was trying to shorten the grief and feel "normal". It was only after I started listening to Leo and watched his videos, {some more than once} that I started to really see myself. I am still studying the Ego, still reading books that Leo recommends, joined the gym. I thought that my ex could rescue me since he seemed so interested and I could have a semblance of my old life back. Now I know it was my Ego needing to be feed. The strange thing is I cannot get my ex out of my head even though it is over. Throughout my day I do The can I stop thinking of John. Yes. Do I want to stop thinking of John? Yes. When do I want to stop? Now. I also meditate for at least 20minutes in am. This is a complete life change for me and I believe that if I master awareness and take advantage of the self help products, I can learn to love me and my life now.
