The gal with Venus in 8th house, from the love and money post, surfaced in the comments with this:

“I have learned my own contours as a woman with this man.”

Is that beautiful or what? Nothing like appreciating the nuance. And this post has haunted me some.

For the record, I work ahead. I am usually at least a week ahead with the advice posts, which are then set to load automatically. And I rarely alter them once I load them, just because of my nature. Done is done. Next!

But I had the idea repeatedly with this one to go back and add a few lines. I thought the post was okay as is, but I wondered if she might have gotten stuck on the supposed critical tone and missed my intention which was to bring her some peace.

Because I felt she already knew everything I wrote in her head. It’s not like it was new. But I thought if I would tweak her perspective, and she started seeing things in this way…well she had a shot at extreme contentment and a level of happiness that would be enviable.

Because this other idea is authentic to her. Not to everyone, but to her. To some people money is everything. And they teach this to their kids as if there is only one shoe and we all have to wear it. Anyway, it was very gratifying to read her comment this morning. She graced the blog.
