Thank you Dirk for this beautiful poem. Also the song was amazing! Wow!

The line in your message: “ being a good person for me and others”- although I did get your point,🥰 it also stirred something deep. For years, since being a young girl, I tried so hard to be good that I silenced my own voice and lost myself in pleasing others. That path brought so much pain, but also wisdom.

Now I walk gentler path of healing and self-acceptance. I’ve learned that my true purpose is to honour myself and then share that love with others.. to be the light, steady, grounding, flowing and kind. Nothing to force, only to be! Always come from the place of love!

With gratitude for letting me share my thoughts and also allowing me to “ walk” with you all. Sending lots of love! 💕 Ulla

Thank you kindly dear Ulla 🥰. Yes I know what you mean. For me, I just want to show up as a good person, being me at the purest level. Personally, I get the most joy out of that as well. That’s the ‘for me’ part. It’s always interesting how other people’s words can bring out something inside of us. 🙃 yesterday’s Hotspot was about that. Sending you my care and love 💕

I like what Kay wrote! I'll "go with that"! I believe " Im ON pupose" also... It took decades of Teachings from many sources and LOTS of Reading to come to my own conclusions as to what how & when I feel content with Life, Understand "It's" meaning and have Wisdom Teachers to keep me curious & always seeking to learn more. The Cosmos is ever expanding and so should we... good Post. These words "rang true" for me : "

It's my life and the purpose in my life.

My body is a vessel,

A vessel for the universe

To express itself through me.

When I'm open and ready to receive

You take care... always enjoy a good post from you.... Oh.... the song. Not quite for me.... it was a "little slow". I go for something more "upbeat" when I think of you. Best Wishes, Teri

I remember your talk at Unity Van… Wonderful! The phrase you wrote in your poem that has great meaning for me is ‘I’m on purpose’. What a significant declaration, which says so much more than puzzling over the question: What’s my purpose? Luv it❣️K👍🫶🏻
