Did you ever stop to think that when you have the courage to ask someone for help it may in turn help them too?
Last night, my phone rang. Even though it was late at night I felt it was important that I take the call. A young woman had seen my website http://www.healingbeginswithin.net/ and was asking for a session. I immediately sensed she was having a really hard time and from the bottom of my heart with the same concern I have for my own children I asked her, "Are you okay?" She responded in a now tearful voice, "I'm not doing too good right now". I so felt her pain and so wanted to help. Second to being a mother and wife I knew this was why I was here...to help others. I listened to her tell her story that is unfortunately all too common for so many. She was newly married, had a young child, and now was in the midst of a painful separation. The exact details are not what I want to share, however, what she was feeling and the thoughts and emotions she was feeling are important and need to be shared. She felt very sad, alone and afraid. Her heart ached. I understand. Many of us understand and can relate. I let her know many important things. First of all, as human beings we all make mistakes. As result of those mistakes we gain experience. And more importantly as result of the experiences we gain knowledge. This knowledge then in turn results in wisdom. Wisdom so as to enable us to love better, give better, live better and enjoy this amazing experience we call life! I remind us all, that's why we are here! To live and learn and witness one another heal. Her last words to me were, "Thank you so much, I feel so much better!" And I want her to know she made me feel good too! Whenever, we extend love and our heart to others the result is wonderful. So...please never be too afraid to ask for help, because when you do, don't be surprised if you end up helping somenone else too!
