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 .

Joining KS in 2016 gave me opportunities to post inspiring stories and links etc. that inspired others. KS helped me to be a little better person.

I think most people here go through life and situations present themselves and their first reaction is how can I help……it does not cross out minds to manipulate, criticise, put people down whilst they are in a pickle, kindness is the first go to and I think thats something we can all be proud of…..even if my first four words we shallow……..keep on growing and improving its what we do……..not sure were the word nuclear came from but your new word is monkey……..he too will be gone one day and thats a life well lived when every day you are more wonderful than the day before. Keep up the good work. X

Living a life of service has always felt like something I wanted, and when I discovered that most people here believe that to be the most important as well, I felt like I found my tribe. I'm so grateful for this community. Thank you for this beautiful post. ♥.

Lilijourney wrote: Kindspring has given me a space of grace, a venue from which to recharge my kindness light, grow in my love of self and others, be responsive less reactive to the vibrations around me. I find myself coming home to kind spring when i am weary, hope is restored in me by the stories and reflections of our members. It is my pleasure in all ways to me an active kindspringer. 💕💞💗â¤ï¸
