I'm sure I've hurt someone in my past by what words I said too... Now, I practice mindfulness... think, before I speak..and when someone say's something hurtful to me, I just try and see where they're at in life, they just haven't made it yet to the mindfulness that comes from meditation... the best we can do so we don't absorb the negitive words is to forgive and forget...Pat, I am so happy you are healthy!!! I know your life will be long and beautiful and you will inspire so many others!

I have pondered on this topic so often.. the POWER OF WORDS, because i too have been deeply affected and thrown off my tracks by just those few hurtful, unbelieving words. I like how you say "Sometimes in our lives we are more vulnerable to what people say.." SO TRUE. and also, i appreciate how this process can bring us even closer to ourselves and make us even more aware of what we are saying to ourselves, and in that releasing the negative words/energy from the outside. I choose to be more and more mindful of the words i say, and may they always come from the Heart. <br />Your posts are so Real, and so healing. Thank you Pat for sharing!!!!!!!

I can't take back the hurtful things I've said in the past but I can sure be mindful of the beautiful words I say now, words harvested from the garden of unconditional love. Easier said than done isn't it? Thanks hon for the real life posts. :)You Might Be A ~ Blankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594836068356570795noreply@blogger.com
