The PsychCafe
Share, connect, and learn.
My Christmas wish is that every Psychcafe member can feel that this space is *theirs*. That every member can feel welcome here, and that they have the permission to write what they need to.

My wish is that you each know that the welcome and the permission do *not* depend on you writing about yourself or responding to other people. We welcome you regardless.

That the welcome and the permission do *not* depend on other people responding or not responding to you, agreeing or disagreeing with you. In quiet or hubbub we welcome you regardless.

They don't depend on you writing well or writing badly, being clear or being foggy, being serious or being silly.

They don't depend on you writing enough or writing not-too-much.

We welcome you, and for as long as you keep your respect for the welcome of others in hand, you have permission. My wish is that you know this space is yours.

love,
Jones

oh- what a really nice (and needed) christmas gift- thank you Big Grin - and the best part is that we can keep passing it on to the next one, and the next one... the gift only grows by sharing it. lol. wise.

Morgs- oh, dont be sad, i am sure its just a misunderstanding, that happens alot here.. have you asked the person if this is really the case?
Jones, Bless you for being so beautifully artistic in your writing. I have always loved the way you write and clearly explain things with such kindness, love and caring. I do admit I am envious of your ability as I can only wish that I could do likewise.

Thank you so much for this post and the wonderful thoughts you have reminded me of.
Draggers suggested to me to read this post you made. TYVM Draggers and TYVM Jones!

I wish you and all the others on this board to have the best Happy Holiday Wishes and even further past that. For those who are struggling, may you find help and hope to overcome all that hurts, harms or worries you.

(((((((((Hugs & Love to one and all)))))))))
Thank you Jones, for bringing your calm and acceptance to everyone here. It's very precious. And I agree with everything you said. There are no expectations. Everyone gives as they can, when they can. And asking for support is NOT just taking. There are so many people reading who never post and when you ask for support it may be about an issue that dozens of unseen people are struggling with, and the answers will also speak to them. You're being brave enough to reach out for support is a mighty catalyst for healing in someone else's life.

For those who celebrate Christmas, may you have a peace-filled holiday filled with the light that came to dwell among us.

For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, may you be blessed by peace and the presence of all you hold dear, whatever that may be.

I am so grateful for each and every one of you and what you have meant in my life.

((((Jones))) Thank you beyond my ability to express for saying this in the first place.
