I sat down this morning to write down all the ways my time here at this transformative website has changed me & my way of navigating this thing called life. I woke up out my night's sleep feeling inspired to do this...wonder where I went in my dreams last night :)))
For the "old-timers" here, there won't be any surprises, but for those of you who have just found this wonderful place, you will see why we tell you KS is a "magical" place where lives are changed.
This is "free-form" from the notes I just jotted down, so forgive if any repetition, etc.
WHAT KS HAS DONE FOR ME...HOW IT HAS "TRANSFORMED" ME:
- Increased my awareness of our connectedness. How what we think, say & do impacts not only ourselves, but others as well.
- Increased my "feeling worthy"; that what I do matters. Makes me feel "I am enough" (altho sometimes I need to reinforce this for myself) :))
- I truly believe my time here has "changed my neuropathways", as I am now on "kindness automatic"
- I am happier, more creative, more positive, more hopeful, more faith, braver, leaping, more loving, increased compassion & empathy.
- Great progress made in decreasing my "reactivity" (still room for improvement) as I am more aware of how it harms not just me but those around me.
- Given purpose to my life. Led me you recognize I am an "encourager" , something that gives me joy beyond belief. Grateful.
- Increased excitement about each new day. More joy, fun, laughter.
- Increased learning/growth from all the shares here.
- Changed my perspective on some big issues. More flexible. Less judgemental.
- Laugh more, "let it go" more, more self-love, self-kindness & appreciation.
- More gratitude & appreciation
Would love you to share how KindSpring has impacted you.
Grateful to all of you for your open-hearted kindness .

One of the things i love the most of this is that there is such site in the web, it challenges into kindness, of course within your home community, but it spreads over the world where you cant imagine or see, but know. Its a reminder, an inspiration. Practical, real.

In the calm he was able to tell others the same thing and everything calmed down.........my car was shiny new again and no harm was done nor did I allow myself to be pulled into a downward spiral...... if I had perhaps none of us would have got the repairs we needed. We really do create our own lives..... live kindly and kindness comes your way too.......win.....win....x

I used to live within my own shallow walls, and now I've transformed into so many different phases thanks to all of you. Now, I truly can live a full life, have so many new ways to cope with the realities of life, and have a new-found appreciation of the real human spirit. So grateful to you, Mish, and to everyone on this wonderful site!
