Dominion vs. Domination, an interesting concept, that there is an unlimited amount of power in the universe that every person can and has a right to tap into, that power is not a pie with a limited amount, reserved for a few at the top, that if I have power, it does not take away your power and that our power can come from within without having to dominate others. Win/win.... It seems so subversive, alien to Western linear black & white culture. Nice.

Other "Recovery" pieces to remember Indigo;
Facades, hiding; "I'm ok"
Grumpiness, anger, hurt; there's a reason, research it, let it out
Coping Mechanisms; food journal, art, breathing, regular meals (no starving)
Self-Expression; your truth, your inner self
Accessing, allowing, experiencing and letting out emotions
Black & White thinking & Self Hate: If its not perfect, I am a failure, worthless
Assertiveness: I feel___ when you____ because ______
Taking your needs into consideration: You're as important as everyone else
Get the ball rolling & it will continue rolling
Change happens gradually and often imperceptibly

By the suggestion of my coworker Mark, I looked for Woody Allen movies today but couldn't find any at Blockbuster. Especially, "Husbands and Wives," Mark said. Where can I find it? Also looked for "Chasing the Dead" with Nicolas Cage. My old friend Robert said it changed his perspective on how to deal with his clients. Now he just simply gives them choices and consequences and takes credit neither for their failures or successes. That makes alot of sense and I'm proud of his maturity. (I haven't spoken to him in years.) He said he's going to try to get a flight out here next week for the weekend. Sounds like it should be great but I am worried because I am fat and feel ashamed to see him. Why do I always let that get in the way? It plagues me.
