Dear Kate,
After 30 days of receiving your messages and practising the Blessing Way I wanted to share with you some of my thoughts.
Although helping people myself, mainly students, I believed I was doing everything right. Life made me discover that I was not doing right at all. One thing was missing: the real love for myself, for my Self. To direct my thoughts to bless everything and everyone, even those un-lovable, has been certainly at times challenging but such an uplifting experience! And I was not going to give up. I practised every day whatever exercises you had given and practised them with the best of my abilities.
As you say it so well, blessing is more about myself than others. I knew I needed to change but I could not figure out how and with which tools.
You offered me a fantastic opportunity to challenge myself and my attitude towards others. Although having learned not to judge others, I was very self-critical almost destroying the goodness I have been given the minute before. I strive after perfection and I was never good enough. That was the judgment on myself and of course it reflected on people around me as I was expecting the very best of them.
You helped me to set myself free!
How can I express the joy in my soul and my being? Day after day, I observed the difference in my body, my face and my eyes. They are becoming so shiny! And most of all, some relationships which were quite tense started to be so relaxing and amicable without any effort - only the blessing!
I am now commited to this "Dispatch of Blessings" and I do not want to let it go just because this Challenge is finished. I have just started to feel so much better within myself and re-discover the whispering of my soul..
I have blessed the person who sent me the small video of "May you be blessed". She has given me the opportunity to grow and serve God better than before. Without her, I wouldn't have known you and your wonderful work.
I will keep all your messages and intend to use them whenever I feel the need for a boost of daily discipline.. and I will continue the Circle of Blessings. There is so much to bless nowdays.
It is my turn to say from my heart to yours " MAY YOU BE BLESSED, KATE". You are truly a beautiful being! Thank you!
With my heartfelt gratitude,
Eliane
