I just want to say THANK YOU for those of you who reached out, posted your feelings and needs, and for those who responded.

We’re a truly remarkable, caring, and loving group.  I’m honored to be a part of this wonderful growing community.

Here’s the original post, a column on identifying feelings that I wrote last week.

Please reach out to others and email them this daily blog, and offer to listen to their feelings, too.

To me, this is the best, highest and loveliest form of spiritual practice, sharing and confiding in others.  Getting your thoughts and feelings out to someone else takes courage.  Listening and being available is a great gift.

So, anyone who posted and read these words is our chosen “comments of the week” winner.
