Pre-January 2014:
I am many things to many people. To myself I am a well-educated, codependent, workaholic, perfectionist who is determined to get herself back. Writing to live (because what I’m doing right now sure isn’t living).
I swear a lot.
I won’t self-censor.
I do not intend to offend.
I do intend to recover.
I totally intend to live again.
Edited 1/10/14:
All of the above still applies except I’m working on swearing less based upon the premise that the additional negative charge is not something I need in life. I won’t lie, it still feels good, it’s just something I’ve decided to “monitor” and “adjust”…ugh.
BTW, I am *so totally recovering*! Every day for the rest of my life I’ll be working on it, and that’s just fine.
Dharma Goddess: The Journey to Me 
Dharma, thanks for the follow. I look forward to exploring your posts. I love all the pictures from your home section, did you take many of them yourself?
Thanks! Good to find your blog!
Many of the images are attributed to the extent possible, with some of them being memes. None of the pictures are my own to preserve my anonymity.
Best,
Dharma
Amazing Blog!! Thank you for visiting mine and commenting. Truly appreciate what you are doing. I have two other none anonymous blogs but I think I have found a more authentic place with this one – and more genuine commenters and followers! xo
Thank you so much! I think authenticity is highly therapeutic. Anonymity helps!
echoing your thoughts…
Thank you! 🙂
Beautiful proclamation! I love it, I’m rooting for you! 🙂
Thanks so much! I’ll take all the help I can get!
Thanks for checking out my blog – sounds like we have been on similar paths, although you have the gift of frankness, which I admire
Thank you! This is perhaps the one place where I am more frank than my daily existence allows.
See you around!
Thank you kindly for for the follow 🙂
My pleasure – thanks for dropping by as well!
my pleasure 🙂
Thank you for following bebeautifulanddance.com …. I hope we can inspire one another’s journey into ourselves.
Love your determination !!
Recovery isn’t for the faint of heart! 😉
Thanks Denise! You are so right about that!
Dharma…. Because you are such a wonderful person – always encouraging and supportive – I have nominated you for the Liebster Award. I think the courage and determination you show on your own blog is worthy of any award.

Well Cat! My goodness what an honor 🙂 I am humbled. [kiss kiss!]
Thank you.
*blushes*
Giggles! 🙂
Thanks for using my blog as a reference. Appreciate it 🙂 Plus your honesty on your blog is refreshing. 🙂
Thank you! It was a good article to reference and very salient to my post.
Honesty, well, it’s all I’ve got! 😉
I like your zest for life.
[blushes] Thanks! It certainly does make things more interesting.
Glad you liked my birds. My wife and I see them everyday. That is except goosey who is no longer with us.
Awww, poor Goosey! The geese where I live are quite territorial and sometimes the fight all night. The bossy ones must live here!
The alligator that got Goosey was a five footer and the neighbor across the lake used a shotgun on him. Goosey revenged. Nature is cruel and then there is man who is more than cruel.
I see you have a lot to write about. I went to create a space and got my book out there. They do a great job and do not charge. They walk you through the process on phone with a life person. Contact me if you need the information.
Hi Dharma,
Thanks for the follow. I am enjoying going through your posts!
Matt
Thanks for stopping in Matt! Keep writing!

Dharma, your blog is a ray of sunshine – particularly for me as a domestic abuse survivor. With that in mind, I’ve nominated you for another Sunshine Award! By the way, mucho kudos for the belly-dancing 🙂 More details about the award here: http://avalancheofthesoul.wordpress.com/2014/02/08/sunshine-award/
Well geewhiz! Thanks so very much for your kind words and the honor! I am sooooo grateful for the blogging community that I have found here on WordPress. I only hope to pay it forward so we all can keep spreading support. Somehow, it makes me feel far less alone and isolated.
Mwah! 🙂
