Absolutely, Marie! So true. I’ve received incredible healing by listening to others’ stories. Support groups and 12-step programs are built all around that concept. And what a cute picture. XOXO Jan
Stepping out of ourselves to listen to someone, be there for them or help them in any way is not only good for them, but it’s the best way to let go of our own problems.
So true! Listening to one another’s stories is the way we connect because we humans are storytelling beings. And we can connect better with our deeper selves through journaling, too. That’s telling our stories to ourselves, and lots of research has shown that it’s beneficial to body, mind, and spirit.
". . .and the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and JOYFUL, by which we arrive at the ground at our own feet, and learn to be at home."
Wendell Berry

LOVE it!! And the saying is so true. The power of telling our stories is cathartic and so necessary.
