thank you! wow, Ferose, what gems you have shared. Indeed, here's to turning pain into purpose! My father tried to kill himself 5 times and died when I was 22. The pain in that experience led to sharing compassion in every encounter and in realizing every one we meet has a story and challenges. If we meet them with open heart and mind and even arms, we can perhaps uplift in that one moment. That connection can make all the difference for that one person in that one moment. It has changed my life (I also carry a FREE HUGS sign wherever I go, because you never know when someone might need a hug) Hugs from my heart to yours for a beautiful life story of sharing your compassion and vision in all aspects of your life. here's to listening and learning!
