Horrid Airbnb experience - Part 1

We had been renting a room in our house for about 6 months.
We enjoyed the stream of visitors, yet we were looking for someone who could live with us on a more long-term basis.
B. entered our life and we were pleased.
He booked a room through Airbnb one week in, one week out.
We fell in love with the guy. He was a gentle soul, funny and a bit shy.
We had many things in common including our vision for the future.
We liked to have him around.
M. had started to introduce him to friends.
People appeared to appreciate him.
We had a trip planned. We were travelling for two weeks and a half or so. B. had lived with us for two months or so, we trusted him and so we agreed through the Airbnb scheme to leave him our home with confidence that all would be well.

Off we went.

Taking the decision to heal oneself

We have taken the decision. We are healing ourselves and this every step of the way. * * * We have waited too long. Our soul needs some mending. We are distracted by the colour outside of ourselves.We cannot even paint the colours of the emotions running through our blood vessels. * * * We have taken the decision. We are taking a brush to fill the crack.
