To cultivate compassion, you must respond to the needs of others.
To practice joy, you must contribute to the joy of others.
Walk your talk… You must follow through with your intent.
Namaste ~ Pamela

Today, I re-mind myself that an open heart that is sincere and compassionate fuels my own confidence and self-esteem as well as giving comfort and solace to others. I acknowledge that my open heart may be vulnerable to grief and sadness as well as happiness and joy, however all relationships bring teachings that we may learn from them. All relationships are assignments… There is something we must learn, something we must give, something we must receive in those assignments. This is all part of the lesson.
Namaste… Pamela

The heart and soul of an empath is easily hurt by the pain of others with whom they feel a connection. This is a valuable reminder from Thích Nhất Hạnh…
The other part of this, in my opinion, is that person who makes you suffer has to be willing to see their “suffering is spilling over” and the fact that they “need help.”
Until the suffering being, who takes out their pain on others, is willing to own their suffering and get help, they will keep hurting people. We are helpless but to offer them prayers and compassion, while we shield our hearts.
Namaste… Pamela

My life is rich. Today, I re-mind myself that my life abundant in so many ways. I am grateful for my family and friends who are actively a part of my rich and wonderful life, those who lift me up when I am down and applaud me when I am up. Abundance comes in many forms, I take care to recognize the abundance in my life that is not monetary, but rich in love and the substance of caring and compassion. In this I know, I am abundant.
Namaste… Pamela

Today, I re-mind myself that everyday is an opportunity to be the best person I can in all of my interactions with others. It is that simple… I affirm to myself that in practicing communication and compassion, I am fostering change.
