Oooo, I love how honest you are being here Jill! That IS our epic fear that we will be found out as “not as nice & generous” as thought previously. I think we are going deeper here. How can Love NOT be generous no matter what? And I am beginning to question the importance of “nice” having been and appreciate nice it is now feeling “not the whole story” somehow.

Tiredness, overwhelm, health issues, and plans with my husband are only 4 examples of excuses I might use when I really want to say no, but am not comfortable just saying no without an excuse. I know I would be appropriately empowered to just say “no”, or “I am choosing to not do that at this time”, or something like that.
My ego says I’m using a kinder approach, to not hurt the feelings of someone making a request of me. But in reality I am protecting a false image of myself. I have been acting like I really want to say yes when I really don’t.
My epic fear is that they will all find out that I am not as nice and generous as I pretend to be.
My homework is to speak my truth.
