Circle tonight. Eight of us, an hour, and about eleven minutes of actual information. The rest was the point.

The facilitator stopped the room when four of us were talking at once and asked one person how she was actually doing. It changed the whole hour.

Somebody new tonight, terrified, exactly where I was in the spring. I said the thing that had been said to me and watched it land.

Went for the practical answers and stayed for the company, which I gather is what everybody does.

Same again next month.

No wisdom, just: I am sorry. That sounds genuinely hard.

Ninth week for me too and I also nearly stopped. Glad neither of us did, so far.

That is a real thing and it is not trivial. Do not let anyone tell you it is only hair.
