Oops!

This morning I was counting the things I like best about myself and I came up with: honesty, loyalty and the ability to share. 

Honesty has always been #1 all through my life. I simply cannot tolerate lies or the people who live by them. My youngest grandson recently accused me of lying and it made me so angry I came very close to changing my will. I decided to give him some time to grow up and change his mind. 

I have always been loyal, even when the other person turns out not to be the person I thought he/she was. It takes a lot for me to give up on someone and it usually happens when I finally see that hanging on is causing me more pain than my soul deserves.

Now then we come to the ability to share which is an interesting virtue. First of all I believe this should be moved up to #1 and this is why. Several years ago a friend who has psychic abilities told me that when I found my passion I would realize my purpose. 

After many years I really believed my passion was writing because it is something I love to do and I know that I have unseen help doing it. It seemed right to me until this morning when I asked myself, “What is the thing you like most about yourself?” My answer was not writing it was “sharing”. What?

It was then I realized that I absolutely love sharing everything that comes into my life. It is what makes me very happy. I have always known that nothing is mine to keep.  My mother-in-law once said I was very generous, but I didn’t think so. That’s just the way I was made and I don’t believe it makes me anymore special than anyone else. 

So I have come to the conclusion that sharing is my passion. Writing is simply one of the tools I use to express that passion. I also use photography and word of mouth; actually whatever comes to me through my conscious connection with my spiritual insights. Someone once said I use everything at my fingertips to express myself. He was right! Someone has to stir the ashes or the fire will go out! 

In conclusion, I have decided that sharing is my passion, but does it change my purpose? Absolutely not. Odd isn’t it? My purpose is and always has been “to inspire others to be the best that they can be”. 

Although there was a little oops in the path, the destination did not change.
