| Introduction | I first went to Option in 1999 and had the "hope of hope" that the Option process would help me find a way/ ways out of depression. I have been to many programs, including becoming a certified Option mentor twice. It seems that I still hold depression in my back pocket in case I think I need it. What a belief!! That's my basic struggle. When I'm at Option, I totally "get it"; when I go home, I partially lose it. With my "Option glasses" on, my life is fantastic - I'm an artist and I love what I do; I'm married to Ted and I love him; I have two grown children and I love them; I have wonderful friends and I love them too; I am very active with working out in some way or other every day and I have enjoyed excellent health. So many wonderful things to focus on, be grateful for and to make bigger and better! Why in the world would I want depression in my back pocket??? To be further explored.... |

You've got to make contact with the alien leader. How will you tell when the conversation is finished?
Why do I hate it when Bronwyn pushes Option philosophy at me in a "tormentor" style?
