Difficult compassion


--by brenross, posted Mar 9, 2016
I run a support group for women who have the same illness as I do. It is very hard to know how to help sometimes. I check my intentions constantly to make sure I am coming from a place of compassion. It is one of the hardest things I have ever done.

Well done for checking yourself.............the more you know the more you can help is the best way to look at it. x

Find the good stuff (however tiny) and build on that. there is a smile to be discovered. You're doing great!
