The first meeting of the Radical Catholic Feminist discussion group went really well. I was all whiney about going, but then I got there and I remembered why I'm following through on this project. The women who came are so amazing (including, of course, Britta and Layna), and they were so open! Sometimes I think I've become someone I would have wanted to meet when I was 15. I've managed to create a safe space for people I've never met to come and talk about their beliefs and their fears and the things that are hard for them. It's amazing. The most amazing part is that they're thanking me! I guess they don't realize that I need this as much as they do, that they're giving me at least as much as I'm giving them. I think I'm on a good path right now. We were talking about the body as a temple, and I realized that I am starting more and more to treat my body as a temple. I exercize, I (mostly) eat things that are good for me, I have people in my life that are good for me, and I'm getting a fair amount of sleep. Sometimes I make mistakes, but I'm beating myself up about them less than I used to. One day at a time (but with a schedule) is a good way to live your life. I'm feeling so happy and whole right now, I think I've done a good job.
