But of course, I - like you - won't answer back meanly, yet also worry about the mean words...are they true??? I try very hard to be careful with my words and try NOT to be hurtful ever! that's my way of living but it's not everyones. I think you are right when you say that you only have control over you own words and not others. <br /><br />I agree with Willows comment of turning a cruel act into a lovely post.Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12409455543895086283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-46008586281479706532010-08-28T21:37:52.833-04:002010-08-28T21:37:52.833-04:00Really?

One benefit to aging, at least. <br /><br />It's lovely that your heart chakra page fuels your throat chakra page, prompting you to speak from the heart.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-81599312683914369552010-08-26T12:57:48.044-04:002010-08-26T12:57:48.044-04:00I am sorry for this situation...you have support f...I am sorry for this situation...you have support for your highest good and I believe your careful words and understanding of what is true will work for you with good results.

It seems to me that speaking the truth is not always the right answer, it is knowing the truth that really matters (and being honest with yourself). Many times when people hurt someone else it is because they have their own issues they don't want to face, so often I will respond with, "I feel sorry for you." and leave it at that. Doing this doesn't mean their words were not hurtful, but it just might give them a bit to think about themselves.<br /><br />Creating out your emotions was the right thing to do. Somehow that is just balm for the soul. I love your chakra journal. It is truly healing.Kimhttp://kimrodefferfunk.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-2383888690436547292010-08-24T22:48:17.877-04:002010-08-24T22:48:17.877-04:00I'm glad your silent alone time practice broug...I'm glad your silent alone time practice brought you to a better place. I'm sorry there are souls in this world who do not think before they speak and hurt others.

Recently I heard someone say, "Don't worry about what others are thinking of you. Worry about what you're thinking of them." You can only control your own thoughts and opinions and emotional reactions, not those of others. It's futile to try.<br /><br />Now I just have to take my own advice.Umāhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680155603317072829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-5322769048019268412010-08-24T15:15:29.758-04:002010-08-24T15:15:29.758-04:00That hurts to read Suki.

You're always coming from a place of kindness.<br /><br />I always like to think of my intentions before I say or write anything. It helps alot, but sometimes I do wish I could take words back. No matter how kind we try to be, often times there will be a person even more sensitive than ourselves and still feel the sting of something not meant as harmful.<br /><br />I'm in a tough place myself this week, but from self-inflicted wounds that run deep. I need to work on loving kindness for myself. I have a lot of inner work to do.<br /><br />I love the journal pages. It's nice that you took your hurt to make something beautiful to share.<br />I hope you can avoid this toxic person as much as possible. The best thing to do is to send them loving thoughts and peace.<br /><br />Hugs to you and Bibs♥studio lolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363808478293833466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-47698555581057821632010-08-24T13:54:03.484-04:002010-08-24T13:54:03.484-04:00Sorry you had be subjected to this rude person.
