I ran into my friend Sally Spencer (Beach Walk 528 ) and we got to talking about the broken hearts show (Beach Walk 668) and how compelling "victim energy" can be. And also how it can weaken a person, both body and spirit. It takes a special understanding to be compassionate and encouraging at the same time, rather than slipping into pity. Pity does not empower, in my book.

Hawaiian word:
Hoʻomana: empower

"It is said an Eastern monarch once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence to be ever in view, which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations. They presented him the words: 'AND THIS TOO, SHALL PASS.'

How much it expresses! How chastening it is in the hour of pride! How consoling in the depths of affliction"

I agree, Buddy - and with Rox as well ...

This episode couldn't have come at a better time for me.

Thank you for always being a ray of light in a dark world.
