BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Self Development Appreciate the person above you

Holly, where do I begin to actually find the best words of appreciation for you and the absolutely beautiful woman you are? I've never seen your face or your picture, but who you are just shines out like a beacon to many who need to know someone cares. If having a heart of love is not true beauty, what is beauty anyway?

This thread seems to be slowing down and it's such a great one...

I thought I'd take this opportinity to thank CDMohatta for his idea of adding a bookstore to my website. He was telling some of us to consider getting our own online bookstore since we were talking about books so much! Now I have one. Thanks for the awesome idea, CD! I appreciate you

Tami, you are such a positive person and I enjoy reading your ideas. I am really glad that you are reviving this thread!

Trish

I know for me, sometimes i don't post not because i don't appreciate the people who posted before, but i get embarrassed to receive compliments.

Tami and Trish... both of you... i'm always amazed by how positive both of you are. I don't know if you have any idea how much that helps others.

And CD has so many good ideas!

You are absolutely right about CD! And Holly, you are such a sweet person who doesn't realize how much YOU give to others. You are a great asset to many people and a good friend, too!

Trish

Trish,

you have a clutter free mind.

Haridas, you have the incredible ability to sum things up in one small, but powerful sentence! I can learn from you

It has been mentioned that perhaps some people feel they don't want to invite appreciation towards themselves by posting on this thread too often.

I completely understand, but I invite you to consider that in order to shine a light on someone else's path, sometimes you need to reveal your own bright light. It's OK and there is nothing prideful about it. We are blessed by the beauty of that light!

I like what Marianne Williamson said, "There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that others won't feel insecure around you."

If we focus on ourselves, we rob people of the joy this thread gives. I invite every person to focus on the PURPOSE of blessing others here and let the rest of us bless you if we desire to do so.

May your desire in wanting to make a difference in the lives of others overcome all resistance.

In warmth and understanding,

Tami

This is loving and being compassionate unconditionally right?
because anything less, would of course be hypocrisy.

Hmmm. That's food for thought.

Thank you for this Tami. A most valuable lesson for us all.

Tami,you are a good teacher.
