Welcome back to the TPC Blog.<\/p>\n
Along the Way is something I thought would be fun. I ask friends and people I meet on my path to write a small paragraph of something they’ve learned from their life so far and want to share. That one Gem of Wisdom that they feel is the most important they would share if they could.<\/p>\n
Our Bloggee today is a good friend of mine Despina. She is a very giving person. She always thinks of others. Actually when I asked her for her Gem she sent me the following testimonial:<\/p>\n
“The first thing I noticed about Sharon was that she exuded kindness, and I immediately felt safe while in her company. When I say safe, I mean I knew she as not judging when she listened to you and she would always give you her full attention. <\/em> She in a sense awakened my spirituality which I am forever grateful. I had always been religious but had struggled with spirituality. I thank God for the gift of Sharon in my life, she is always so generous of herself and her wisdom.” <\/em><\/p>\n I was totally touched by this gift she sent and in the meantime she must have realized how Along the Path works and sent the following:<\/p>\n “My best advice to all who are going through difficult times, be your own best friend. The most simple advice but very effective is if a friend came to you with a similar problem what would you tell them? Your advice for others you love should be the same for yourself. We always forget to be supportive and kind to ourselves.” Blessings Despina <\/em><\/span><\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n This is great advice for all of us to learn. Sometimes we are so busy fixing everyone around us that we forget about ourselves.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/span><\/em>Thank you my dear Friend for your wisdom. If anyone is reading this and wants to be a part of Along the Way, please send me a little about yourself and your Gem of Wisdom. I have many Gems to post but I’m sure I can get to everyone eventually.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n I will leave you with this quote:<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n “The most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.” Carl Jung<\/em><\/p>\n Until we meet again, Sharon<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back to the TPC Blog.
