Hi, Calico Jack... Would you explain this ^ more?
I can see how finding peace involves an awareness of the thoughts that create pain & those that create joy.
BTW, welcome!

I learned what real pain was and that one could live with it and deal day to day, but not always like that. TO not let the bitterness in pain get the best of me.

I learned what the "ablilities" I have were truly for, that was to be there for other's to bring in a possiive LIGHT and at times a message from a passed LOVed one. To undertand the visions I had and work possitivly with them.

I learned to share me with other's. Lynn

Lynn, Thanks for sharing such beautiful lessons!
I can relate in a way - it almost broke my heart, to see some in pain... but I realized that too much sympathy or even empathy can cloud understanding & compassion.

I love what you menteiond about understanding your abilities & gifts not only to feel loved, but also to love.
