My Identity ~ Defined by Others

Posted: June 20, 2010 Under: Self Esteem By Darlene Ouimet 18 Comments

Continuing from my last post which was about the root cause of avoiding feelings and the way that I came to accept that other peoples moods etc. were of MY making and therefore my responsibility to fix.

Redeemable Ruts

So, if it sees a human first after being hatched, it truly believes that that … Continue reading "My Hungry Heart ~ Part 2 of 3"

Freedom from Bondage ~ My Belief System

Posted: December 06, 2009 Under: Self Esteem By Darlene Ouimet 2 Comments

I have always been a student of life. I have always been drawn to such things as self growth, personal development, self help books and even the law of attraction type stuff.  I have done intense book studies.  Because of the trust issues I developed as a child, I didn’t take things at face value; … Continue reading "Freedom from Bondage ~ My Belief System"
