Yea?? Awesome choice! I have 5 morphos framed in my room atm. Love them! I used to have more but have given them as gifts.))) There are nearly 150 subspecies of morphos! How crazy is that?!?! Love em.

I agree 100% that we're taught kindness is a weakness. In fact, I have a friend who tells me "You're too kind. You really are." I also know that it's a trait that is considered weak or thin skinned in academics. My officemate is a very kind person as well - she gives her students so much compassion and goes out of her way to help them - and I know our supervisor basically told her she's too soft for this line of work. And yet, as a student, kindness is what makes me flourish. It's unfortunate that we don't seem to value kindness like we use too!

Do you have a favorite butterfly???

Awwwwwwwwwww!!!! *hugs*
I would say you know kindness too!! Do you ever think kindness is a gender thing? I was thinking about how women (especially in education) are often encouraged to be nurtures and have that 'loving compassion' for students...I don't know if that's more fostered in women than men, and perhaps that shifts how we perceive kindness?

Also, I have to admit, I can talk about kindness, but it can be exceptionally difficult to actually participate in! I try!! I'm trying to be more open to positive, and give the world more love! But somedays I just want to hate everyone! haha


How'd the stats go??

This is what I think of when I hear/read someone say they're trying to turn into a butterfly, lol(:

Thinking out you Sending you hugs and love! <3

Btw LOVE your usertitle! . Was that there before I posted the butterfly pic for you? Because that would be a cool coincidence!

Thanks for the rep! At this point, I have named this house the "money pit" but I think it's so worth it! . We kept thinking of a good business idea since it's commercially zoned and an ice cream shop seemed right. There is good foot traffic and with a good theme, it will be successful. I am excited about it!

This will be us tonight!!

thank you

I will PM you. Is that ok?

Thank you!!!

Saw this and thought of you!! (And me! hahahaha) Wine tonight- yes please!!

Did I thumbs down it? I must have accidentally hit it on my iPad, lol. This is hysterical, but when I saw the thumbs down, I was wondering who did it because there was nothing wrong with it. I learned the same thing in psych. I can't check on my iPad on who did what thumbs, LOL. It was me the whole time! Definite accident. I will find and correct!

What thread was it in again? Can't find!

Really? Does French Canada have a bad reputation that I'm not aware of? I've only heard awesome things!
Regardless, you're a great person!

glad i'm not the only one.

I mean, i get that people try to be positive, but trying to be positive and assuming you're being negative are two different things.

like your usertitle btw

For now.

I noticed on a thread that you enjoyed 'the power of now'. Another Tolle book all about ego that i learned much from is 'a new earth'. Highly recommended.

That's pretty uncanny - it seems that is probably going to happen here as well. I had a 'change' last winter and the compatibility thing along with personal issues for us both seem to be leading in that direction. However the good of all must come first and this situation has become unhealthy for both of us. I'm just afraid there will be much anger and retribution in the road ahead. wow.

Namaste

Well isn't this interesting. If not for the gender swap we seem to be in the same boat so to speak. Unfortunately it's been more than a 3-hour tour. I think what i have on my hands is an insecurity issue and fear manifesting as anger as a distancing thing. Unfortunately i seem to be in counseling by myself in the now. My wife manifests as tough i don't know if things will change in that respect. (another thing lacking btw) It will be interesting to see how it all plays out lol. (irony there ) Hang in there. <3

I know exactly how you feel. At the moment my SO is going thru some things of her own and there is nothing for me at the time. She was raised also where 'men were men' and unfortunately I am going more monk than John Wayne lol. <3
