I enjoyed FPU but do wish my class was a bit more open with each other. I tried to be the one to start - sharing the big debt load numbers and such (I'm not really very funny, hubby is but he didn't come to FPU with me), but our class never really got on a personal level - which I would have liked.

Everyone was being polite. Giving textbook introductions. I was fully prepared to be the first to stir the pot a bit and make our intro quite funny. Someone beat me to it, though. It was refreshing when he spoke because it really did lighten the mood. So instead I followed suit. And was still funny. Just not the first funny one of the day. =) Hope you're liking it!

The Power that is available to us just in telling the truth and claiming our part in a situation is HUGE. You and your wife have such a great way with words and the ability to look yourselves square in the eyes and say "this is who we are; now how do we go forward with change?" Asking the "how" questions, makes a space for answers to fall into. Personally, although it was the very LAST thing I ever wanted to do, participating in a group with other people in the same situation who were committed to change, has been INVALUABLE. It's saved me, saved our marriage and made life truly worthwhile. How great that you listened to your still small voice and spoke up - sounds like it helped the whole group mightily! Can't wait to read the next installment - it's the first thing I check every morning. Thanks! Terrific Posting.
