Hi Everyone,
I wanted to come clean in our group about how I've been inauthentic in our AYP group and apologize... A decade ago I began posting on AYP under the name Chard and then I had a falling out with another AYP group member. The falling out was very painful and I have felt like I lost my soul's best friend/lover and someone with whom I've always had a nagging feeling that I'm meant to be joined with to do spiritual work for humanity -- that's my truth regardless of what anybody else (including that person) thinks, feels or does. (ahhh, what a weight lifted!)
So, shortly after that, I hid (or at least tried!) and I changed my name to CLK1710 and I've posted under that name ever since. I was just about to post on Kechari today and I realized this huge inauthenticity around my names. The impact of this inauthenticity is that my community doesn't get to be really connected with me when there's still a part of me hiding and the impact for me is that I disconnect myself from a community (including AYP social media or retreats) that has always been immeasurably close to my heart, and I deprive myself of the love and support this community has to offer. I deeply apologize for my inauthenticity and I'm recommitting myself to being a part of this community. Also, 100 years could go by without me posting and I still feel that this community is home to me. Thank you everyone for all your support. Yogani, if I may ask, would it be possible to take CLK1710's postings and put them all under Chard please? Not sure if that's an easy adjustment or not. Blessings to you all!
With Love Always, Chard

| Appreciate you for taking the right and righteous decision. More cloaks we shed, smoother will our journey be. |

The less we carry with us, the better we travel. Chard is an easier name to log in with anyway  |
