What if you extended the gift of compassion to all those you meet today by silently blessing them? This simple act will serve to acknowledge our spiritual interconnectedness. When we are able to salute the unity that binds us, we are more able to accept the journeys that each one of us is on, where all paths ultimately lead to the same universal spirit. It is only through respecting our unique differences that we may begin to affirm how interconnected we all are. Honoring this takes time, patience, and most importantly, practice. When you are able to see the value that everyone’s life has, you will find greater meaning in your own.
There is a plan for each of us, and each of us is precious. As we open our hearts more and more, we’re moved in the directions in which we are suppose to go. ~ Marianne Williamson
What a wonderful post. I admit that there are days when I am moving through the motions instead being grateful for the moments. This is a great reminder

It is an interesting process when we silently bless others. I am not sure how it helps them, but it always brings a feeling of peace and having done something worthwhile for me.

Sending those ‘silent” blessings always seems to bless me more…funny it should be that way, but it does make me happy to do it. I often will bless someone so they can hear it – usually by the Southern “Bless your heart”…

It is used many ways, but you can usually tell by the tone of voice that “Bless your heart” really is meant well!
