I feel I understand that space.. This is the first period where I have started letting my blog go. I guess in the end all we can really offer is our time and energy. And there’s only so much. But it feels good to have a life filled with joy and service.
Yes, you’re very right Steve. Joy and service is a winning combination!
What does your heart say? You have given much and maybe time for a different direction.. (: It will be good whatever it is!
Thankyou, Roberta. As with everything, I think YOK needs to grow and evolve, so that is what I am going to work on in 2012. I’m very excited to find new kindness directions and goals!
Hello Miss Cat! I’ve been wondering where you’ve been, and was planning to email you soon to see if you’re ok. Glad to hear that you are, even though your cup is running over!
Very true, and very wise! I am taking that advice, definitely.
I would be disappointed if you decided to stop. I’ve enjoyed reading your upbeat posts. They’re quite inspiring.
However, in the event you do decide to stop, I hope you’ll at least keep being intentional about your kindness missions. I’ve personally found so much value in waking up every day thinking of how I can try to help someone, somewhere. I hope I’m not being presumptuous in saying that I think you have also.
Regardless, I know you’ll make the right decision for you and the people around you ..
Thankyou thankyou thankyou, Eric. You have provided so much inspiration to me on this crazy journey, with your own inspiring posts and all your support and advice. You are definitely a kindred kindness crusader!
Your blog has certainly been an inspiration and I guess there does come a point when we wonder if it is time to change directions. I can really relate to this. Imho you have achieved so much just by rallying the troops’, highlighting the challenges that we face when we incorporate kindness into our lives, and bringing an awareness of ways we can all contribute.
Lovely Silver, your Aries forecast was spot on! It was all about changing directions and finding new ways to make old projects work for us. Amazing, and so helpful. And your blog is gorgeous! I will definitely be visiting often. Thankyou so much for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you for sparking thoughtful conversation and inspiring twenty 3rd graders half a world away.
Blogs enable ersatz altruism like bumpersticker solidarity in lieu of action, so it’s wonderful that you’ve decided to trade-in some screen time. ¡Buena suerte!
Thanks, Cameron. I’m sure it is you who is truly inspiring to those kids. I absolutely love your blog about their achievements and adventures. They are incredibly lucky to have you as their teacher. And you have a beautiful way with words!
I just dropped by to see if you had made any decisions….I agree with the others that you might want to check in with your own heart and energy to see if continuing this blog is fulfilling to you and supports you along your own path.
One little bit of feedback….it seems that your writing had a ripple effect on many other people’s actions and what how they are spreading similar ideas in their own blogs. I know that your ideas had a huge positive impact with me…and have rippled out to many others.
You are very wise, Kathy – my heart and energy just needed to be asked the right question and things became very clear. My path is expanding and growing, but the kindness project can definitely be a part of it with a little planning and creativity. I’m glad kindness is rippling along – it certainly seems to be contagious, and something everyone wants more of in their lives. Next year I will be working on projects to enable more people to be invovled in group kindness missions on a bigger scale. Very exciting!
