The Real Me

It's done!  The manuscript has been translated from Mac pages into a Word document and sent to my book editor in Santa Fe!  I don't expect to see her work for a couple months, so now I can let it go and move on to other things for a bit.  How I wish I could have written my second book first!  I know so much more now than I ever knew I needed to know!……..Today I want to share with you some words of Richard Rohr, p. 155 of Falling Upward:
It is only those who respond to the real you, good or bad,  that help you in the long run.  Much of the work of midlife is learning to tell the difference between people who are still dealing with their issues through you and those who are really dealing with you as you really are.  
His writing is so full of wisdom that is giving me pause.  This one will provide food for thought for some time to come.  Can I name those who respond to the real me?
