Assess whether or not the "recipient" is ready for it.  I use "teachable moments" as I get older...if I'm not asked, I try just to listen and support in the way I can.  I'm a "sharer", so this is one of my lesson in not "doing" for others under the guise that I'm helping and loving them.  They must do for themselves.  I may ask if the person wants feedback to learn, as I've gotten older, most don't.  We're all on this journey doing our thing and the universe brings in those people we're to learn from...sometimes we're ready and sometimes we're not...it may take time.

I try to put my self in situations where I can be supportive with what I know that may assist someone else on their journey.

In my heart.  Listening to and getting connected to that little voice within that guides and directs me to experience what I'm meant to...I also find meditation, a hike or bike ride through Red Rock or the mountains, sailing, sitting on the beach watching the waves roll in and out, just "floating" in life and giving myself the time to hear, breathe and be...gets me closer to what I'm seeking, the answers and resolve I need.  (I do more daydreaming now as an adult than I ever did as a kid.)

I've spent too many years asking others, what do you see me doing or following their lead saying you'd be great doing this, try it or have done that, and yet, no fulfillment.  Oh for a time yes, ultimately, for how I want to share myself with the world, uh-a.  I no longer listen to the riff-raff or get caught up in the superficialities of what this life (media, the Star, People and Enquirer magazines of the world) spoon feeds us.  I want my mind taking in information that will assist me with changing the world, letting my unconscious dream and tell me things, empowering others and having the space and freedom to love generously from my heart and not having to take the mind-space and wonder about the other person's motives or to be hurt because I extended myself to another.

That it's OK to be a flawed human being...who said I have to be perfect and know all the answers, have my act together at all times, convey an image of a put-together chick to the outside world?  I assigned that tidbit to my life script as a youngster and am letting go of that belief.  Now as an adult, I get to recreate me, change my belief systems...it's like having all the colors of the rainbow at my beacon call and finger-painting what my life canvas is to be...havin' a great, interesting, challenging, learning and joyful playtime.  (Remember naptime in kindergarten?  The exact same feeling of dreamin'.)  Yahoo!
