Very shyly stated!

While my inspiration is for World Peace,
and I do have a number of talents -the thing I am
very best at, is my rapport with children.
I delight in them and they respond to me in like kind.

I also am very good with trouble souls as I let them into
my own soul, and they can feel my care, compassion
and understanding.

I also had trouble writing this, because as Andrew stated in
his thread -us Aussie's don't much like to
“blow our own trumpet” !!!

Lovely Sandy,
Takes courage to state who you are and not feel guilty about doing it. Gets easier though. and so it should.
Big Hugs Jenny

Sandy, you are so good at these things which you are good at! They speak for themselves in your life

love

Re: Very shyly stated!

Delighted to see you here, Sandy!
And to see more facets of you. Thank you for sharing them. See you around in this magical labyrinth that HummingBird allowed to come to form……

Re: Very shyly stated!

Thankyou, Jenny, HummingBird and Meenakshi -
for your kind replies.
You have all helped me feel better about actually posting about
myself!
It was on my mind last night -just for putting it up there!

Maybe I should have just said, I LOVE KIDS and helping people,
and left it at that!!!

Re: Very shyly stated!

NOOOO!!!!!!!!! Then how would we have known how much they love you and respond to you? Sandy, reading about things like this makes everyone feel better; so actually you're being selfless in sharing; not selfish. It took me a long time to learn that!

Re: Very shyly stated!

Sandy, the feelings you are experiencing are an important part of your journey. They are real and telling you crucial things.

What I hear you say in your original post is, you respond to others and they respond to you. You feel uncomfortable about turning the doing part into words about yourself as in, 'success'.

We are all better at some things and not so good at others - more talented in some areas than in others. It makes sense to work in these areas rather than mess up in areas where we aren't suited to be operating. So we identify our strengths. Thus this thread.

This is an exercise of simply identifying areas where we are most suited to work. I understand your not wanting to 'blow your own trumpet', this is an important instinct you are feeling.

Of course others will be inspired by our strengths - however, for us that is a side effect and not the focal point. None the less their inspiration can be encouraging and even energise and spur us on. Then it is good and creates further good

love

Re: Very shyly stated!

I see how your authenticity energised us all to comment on your post….The heart knows,and that is why kids who are still somewhat innocent respond so well….Speaking truth is hardly blowing a trumpet, thank you Sandy,for being vulnerable and honest…
