It is an amazing insight, I am powerfully affected.<br /><br />Thank you again!Tanya T.

A slap on the right cheek indicated a confrontation with an equal. Turning the other cheek can then be read in a very different way. <br /><br />This was a new thought to me, and powerful. I though you might find it powerful as well in your continued healing.<br /><br />Thank you for your courage in sharing you journey.Momsomniachttp://momsomniac.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
