For the month of September, I’ve chosen the virtue of respect as my monthly theme.
To me, Respect is one’s consideration and understanding for the life that surrounds them. Though knowing I must think of and care for myself, respect draws my awareness to how interconnected we all are to the world around us.
In my experience, my needs appeared to stand out and requiring help from many people showed me how much we are alike, even if it didn’t feel that way. I learned how needing others is a way of giving and how the will to give and take helps each cycle become complete.
Open your hearts and take notice of Life all around you. Understand your place amongst it and the value you bring, be willing to give and take and contribute to the wholeness of Life that interweaves our paths.
