Today I attended a women's retreat on the beach called The Unfinished Woman conducted by best-selling author Joan Anderson. I heard some pretty profound truths today, but the one I brought home to share is:
"Take a breath, and just be kind" ~ The Dalai Lama
You're plane is late, you're not going to make it. Take a breath and just be kind, you're not going to make your connection.
You're spouse is being a jerk. Take a breath and just be kind, tomorrow you won't even remember it.
Someone said hurtful things to you. Take a breath and just be kind, don't escalate the situation.
If I had this advice months ago, I might not have lost something that is irreplaceable. Think long and hard about this, my friends. It could prevent your world from getting flipped upside-down in a matter of hours.
And so, as another day goes by, the journey inward can be tiring, as well as valuable, and …I have written.
