The 3 C’s of Life
Anyone Can be Manipulated by a Narcissist
Anyone can be manipulated by a narcissist. It has nothing to do with your level of intelligence, or how many degrees you have. Victims of narcissistic abuse often feel stupid for allowing themselves to be taken advantage of by narcissists. We are not taught to protect ourselves from these predators. We are also not taught the nature of who we are dealing with. Most of us didn’t know people like this existed. We were completely unprepared to deal with this insidious manipulatory abuse.

Remember We Are All Affecting the World
Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act.
~ Ram Dass
My Mom Taught Us to Never Look Away
My mom taught us to never look away from people’s pain. The lesson was simple: Don’t look away. Don’t pretend not to see hurt. Look people in the eye. Even when their pain is overwhelming. And when you’re in pain, find the people who can look you in the eye. We need to know we’re not alone – especially when we’re hurting. This lesson is one of the greatest gifts of my life.

I Grieved Today for the Times
I grieved today for the times I have loved so much that I forgot about myself and my own needs. I grieved today for giving so much and forgetting that I should keep a little bit back just for me. I grieved today for getting so caught up in helping others that I overlooked I needed a little help as well. I grieved today for thinking I could just do it all, denying that I also have my limits. And sometimes having limitations is a holy thing. I just wanna love people in a way that makes me feel loved, too. I don’t want to forget myself anymore.
