She Sure is {Wandering with Whispering Thoughts}

Psssst.... Lately I've been thinking a lot about 'being nice'. Last weekend I had the chance to go to an anniversary memorial service for a woman who knew me seven years ago when I felt like my life was falling apart. I had just started working at job-job days after ending a years long relationship. I felt like a shell of a person and everything felt overwhelming. I can remember most of my interactions with her, because they always coaxed me in to feeling so good. For hours after we finished a quick five minute chat I'd be calm with the expectation that everything was going to be grand. When I think about her now I am impressed at her wonderful kindness. This week I've been marveling at what a unique thing it is to be able, at the end of your life, and for years afterward, to be remembered as that one beautiful word, kind.





I left last weekend's memorial service for Naomi with a keen sense that I need to try harder. I need to be kinder. I am working on it - which is all we really have to do in this life. As a health coach I am so lucky to be able to coach people to be kind to themselves too - because that teaches me a ton too.

  1. *Love* this illustration, and the way you introduced it piece by piece. I'm sorry about your friend's death. You are so right - kind would be a wonderful thing to be remembered as.

    Steering clear of tension is a terrific way to maintain your tinnitus signs or symptoms at least, but an even better approach is to learn to manage pressure when it comes up. I love to step back and look at the problem like I had been a third party, inspecting it and deciding regardless of whether it's worthy of my ringing in ears operating up. It always isn't!

    Split your blog site into categories and subcategories so visitors can readily discover your posts. It will not only make it simpler for your viewers to discover details, but after you have built up enough information, you will find a easier time trying to keep it sorted in your own stock too.
