In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us. – Flora Edwards
Most of the posts I write get commented on. Usually by my faithful followers. But what amazes me is how often I get emailed privately about my posts. Several times a week I get an email from someone telling me that something I have written resonated within them and made them take pause. Most times it is by someone who is not even grieving, but rather they can identify with the emotional undertone of my post as it relates to their own relationships. I am told that they can see themselves in me, or that I have made them change the way they look at things.
In my selfish act of baring my soul and using the blog as my own personal therapy, I am touching others. Making them reflect and self-evaluate, and in the end hopefully helping them become more self-aware people.
This is the greatest compliment I could ever receive. That through my personal pain and catharsis, I might be helping someone else to heal one of their wounds.
And in return, I heal a little more too…
It is with a humble heart that I thank all my readers today for continuing to push me along in my journey by choosing to share what’s in your heart.
Brooke, you inspire me to live for today and not worry about tomorrow. To let my guard down and be exposed. I know you may not like to hear it, but you are a strong and courageous woman.
