“Soft”… You Could Be Called Worse!!!

Have you ever been called “overly sensitive” or “soft”?  Why is it that it comes with a negative connotation?

Too many people hurt and insult others not because the person deserves to be insulted but its often a way to make themselves feel better about who they actually are. They feel threatened by a person who is kind and loving and sensitive towards other people because they are not.

If you are a kind, caring and thoughtful person with a soft heart fight to keep it. Do not let the negative thoughts of others keep you from being you. You are not weak or “overly sensitive” you are strong!  The world needs more love and less hate.  People should focus less on judgements of good people and more on fixing the reasons they feel it necessary to focus on someone else’s life.

Don’t let someone make you feel like your pure heart is a sign of weakness…  Stay true to who you are… it makes you brave.  We all need to be less hateful, less jealous, less resentful, less vengeful!  We need to spread love, kindness, happiness and compassion.

Think about what you are showing your children.  Do you want more bullying and cruelty in your child’s life or would you rather your child go to school and feel safe and happy to be who they are??  Kids are products of their environment and we see it so often the effects of the poor attitudes of parents and how it spills over.

There are bullies not only around our children but there are equally as many ADULT BULLIES!   Its time for people to see that being “soft” is a great thing!!  More people should spread the “softness” instead of poison others lives with their toxic attitudes and judgements!

Its been a long, cold dark winter here in Newfoundland!  And yesterday it RAINED!!  I was so happy because just a break from the cold and well… my BBQ got free from the snow trap that covered it!  The  rain reminded me that its almost over and we can soon wear rubbers and light jackets.  The battle of getting the kids in snow suits is soon be to an end (and frankly I couldn’t be happier… preggers and stuffing two small kids in snowsuits only to have them come back inside after 10mins is not fun! LOL)  So I welcome the rain… my kids, welcome the rain!  They went outside yesterday evening and we jumped and splashed and they stuck their heads under the eves of the house just to feel the “shower” rather than snow flakes.

Does anyone feel “lighter” today after all that rain?? I went outside early this morning before kiddos was up and the air smelled fantastic… Birds were chirping… The temperature was nice!! It may only be for today … But it feels so good after the long dark winter to feel the hints of Spring! Is that why it’s called “Spring” because u really do get a spring in ur step!!

Take advantage of this energy and ROCK YOUR GOALS… YOUR RUN… YOUR MEALS… And YOUR SELF LOVE!!!

HAPPY FREAKING FRIDAY 

Happy Friday!!!

Saying “hello” and giving a smile is so EASY and can be really IMPORTANT to someone who is having a crummy day. It may help them switch their “state”!

Heres the result of my paying it forward today:

I was just at a store with my kids and said “Hello, how are you?” to the sales rep that was there and made some small talk about the weather. After a few minutes the sales rep said “Do you mind if I give your kids a treat?” I told him “No not at all, Thanks so much!!” … He let the kids pick out a snack of their choice!!! How nice was that…?? Sometimes when you see someone that may be having a bad day… simply try to brighten their day with a smile and a “Hello!”

I practice “paying it forward” everyday… its a very powerful practice and so simple!!

Hope you all are the victims of the people who pay it forward… and if you are don’t forget to keep it going!! 🙂
