What’s One Thing That’s Beautiful About You? A Year End Homage to That Part of You.
And I think it makes me feel safe to know that I'm able to be with people and not take it on, because if I took it on, then I could never be with anybody because I would just be the pain. But I'm learning more and more to just be with people's discomfort and just accompany them as opposed to them. So that's my idea of what's beautiful about me? What about you

Deborah, I had to pause a minute to think what of all the beautiful things about myself or what of all the beautiful features of myself would highlights. It took me quite a while to sift through them. There's so many of them I decided I wouldn't include a number of my fibers my weaknesses, although I think that they make me more endearing. My hearing isn't particularly good. In fact, some would say it's bad. My eyesight isn't particularly good

And it's helped me a lot because I never realized how powerful that is, how powerful it is to give people the space to be, whether it's sad, whether it's happy, whether it's excited, whether it's miserable, whatever it is, just allow them to be in that space and let them feel like it's okay. Not with words, not with actions, but just allowing them to speak on whatever it is that's ailing them

You are a Saint. Yes, that's the impression I have after listening to you

And I've just never been that type of person. And so many times, I've wanted to say, I want to change. I want to be hard. I want to be that person. But that didn't make me happy. So I'm going with what I have that makes me happy and do my best for people. That's all I can do. Money. I don't give people money because I don't have money. I don't depart with the funds

Lady, I hear you not putting on the mantle of a Saint, and that's okay. Perhaps it would have been more accurate to say to you that for me, you have the disposition of a Saint and everything that everything you elaborate about yourself reinforces that perception that I have taken

But I thought it was an interesting question, so I thought I'd give it a shot in answering it. So yeah, I'm not beautiful, but are there things that are important about me? Yeah. And I think the ability to speak truth. Hopefully I'm learning how to speak truth in a way that people want to hear it. All right. Thanks for the question

I guess what we originally given as our personalities, maybe at the start of our lives, based on our families and the people around us when we are younger, our ability to grow and change can be really beautiful in that way. So yeah. Thank you for this post is a little bit of brightness in my day, I guess. Thank you
