...things I've learned so far

I so adore your spirit Karin!!!

oh yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.. you always help to lift us up !!!!!!!!! thanks my friend

You are beautiful!!! mmmmmmwah!

Thank you so much, Karin for this beautiful and reflective writing. I also love many of the things you do and believe so many of the things you have mentioned here. You had me at the opening line, and I seeing the favorite thought and ideas you hold in your heart. I hear a truth… I am inspired.

Here is something I have learned in life: That you should never compare yourself to the best others can do but to the best that YOU can do! :)

Old Chinese Proverb: The man who is full of venom most of all poisons himself.

I have learnt that you are so lovely and beautiful inside and out and am very proud to have met you here in Bubbleland xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So many profound truths, Thank you for sharing.

Its in writing lists that unknown truths about ourselves come forth… this happened to me when I wrote my profile about the things that make up me and someone pointed out a glaring omission! Thanks for sharing with us here on RB. xx

I wanted to add a few more things I have learned in life. I just kept thinking about this and had to come back to share. :)

1) I have learned that KINDNESS is much, much, MUCH more important that perfection.
2) The greater a persons sense of guilt is… the greater their need is to cast blame onto others!

and…

3) The absolute worst pain for me is watching someone else in pain.

as yota might say “very wise yo are”

Darling Karin; What a wonderful exercise and way to express myself this morning. I have written mine as well and I loved this creative endeavor. Hugs, xoxoxox

good lessons to learn and wonderful words! xooxo

it;s lovely words

I love your list Karin! All of these things are true and very wise. Thank you very much for sharing it. xo

I love this list! One of the things stood out for me:

Wisdom equals experience

However, some people get confused with this one and I should point out that:

Experience does not equal wisdom.

Some people mess up so much in their lives (like me) that they assume they can now pass on great advice. Unless something has been learned by our mistakes, we faulty humans should never presume that we are done learning, and therefor can start teaching.

I had come to realize this when I had two friends that asked me for advice, because they were both in a situation to which I worked through a half a dozen times before. They told me this made me wise. I had to tell them that it just made me messed up and I still have some learning to do. Lesson learned.

yes and so much more to learn….........
a journey to learn about you and about me

One is wrong…..(My heart sings songs that no one can hear). We hear the songs your heart sings through your work :)

Karin , you share beauty, wisdom and kindness in all you do here on RB. Love conquers all…
xox

Wow I agree with all of this like it came straight out of my own heart ,cheers ,you are a dear soul

Very lovely words and sentiments :))

very true Karin ….and thanks for sharing your thoughts too….love makes the world go around and we need more sharing caring people like yourself…x

How wonderful Karin.. One really important thing I have learned is that my life is so much better for knowing you. I have some really hard issues to address in my family, and I am going to go and write. I have spent countless sleepless nights, crying and tossing and turning over what I can do. Just by sharing this you have opened up new possibilities,and something I was considering was to write about the issues. The pain is so overwhelming that I have stopped working. Which is not a good thing so hopefully by writing things down I can get things more sorted at least to a point where I can work again.

Hi, Karin!!
Thank you for sharing. This is awesome!! {{{HUGS}}}}

what a beautiful list. I love everything on it. xx

Flowers swaying in the breeze: you must have been looking at my lawns, covered in tall yellow “weeds”. I’m happy to leave them there for the time being :)

Karin you are one of the most amazing people I have ever come across! This list is embodies your caring, loving and inspiring nature, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us all.
This has really given me pause, I am a compulsive list writer, everything from groceries and to-do lists to ideas for my artwork, inspirational quotes and random thoughts, but never have I written a list of things I’ve learned…..its now in the list of lists to write (lol)
Words fail me, I can’t express the wonder of how this makes me feel. Thank you xxxx

Sassie, there are no words, you have nailed this perfectly, as you do! Stretch :) xoxo

Very insightful Karin :)

Ah Ha! I finally learned how to link! Yiiipppeee!!! I hope you will come and lead my list. xx

Beautiful and truthful words Karin.

You’re such a nice, kind person…

So nice of you to say so Karin…but I’m not as forgiving as you…

What a beautiful, uplifting spirit you have bought to the earth sweetheart..love yr heart..hugs …xooo

Karin, Thank you so much for sharing! It’s wonderful to read!

Absolutely right Karin, about neednding to acknowledge the hurt to better let go of it…Sometimes, if I can’t forgive, I find acceptance brings the peace that I need. :)

Beautiful to read the truth you are wise and you have a great soul :)

what an incredible list . Dont know how i missed this. Much wisdom and spiritual generosity and warmth in your words Karen . I loved so many of the points but this one “I have gratitude toward those who’ve let me down, the human spirit rises up on such occasions to meet challenges and accomplishes much” reminded me of this song and thought you would appreciate it . its near the last line that it is the most powerful.
Thank you for this wonderful reminder about whats important in life . :)xo

wisdom and kindness in all you do here on RB.
