A Bouquet for Pearls - share your appreciation for other members

[Just Sara]

Every now and then, members share a beautiful Pearl of Wisdom. How often do you think to yourself; "OMG that's great! I wish everyone could see this."

Presenting someone with a bunch of flowers is a generous way of acknowledging their insightful words.

I hope this thread stays active through members giving out praise regularly to people they feel deserving, and therefore keep generosity of spirit alive within the pages of BeyondBlue Forum.

My bunch of Red Roses (my choice) goes to Wishful for the following sentence;

• 'Personally, I see no reason to be praised in me, but I'm learning that seeing through the eyes of others can be more accurate!!'

I so hear you Wishful. Just beautiful...

1. Try to keep your leading comments short to focus on 'their' words.
2. Choose specific flowers (or a gift if you like) to present to them.
3. Sign off respectfully and sincerely.

I hope this takes off...

Spreading the love...Sara

Dear Paul~

A crown is something that looks great, that others admire -as they should.

It can also be a weighty burden, which you have borne so well. My admiration on achieving Life Membership

Hi everyone,

Sometimes you read something on the forums that is truly powerful and want to share it with others. Sara made this thread once for this reason. To share and give thanks.

I read a post today by 2Quik which made me stop in awe.

I know it will help others too. 2Quik writes about releasing feelings of responsibility and guilt which nearly all survivors of abuse experience. It is an issue I struggle with too.

"I'm slowly giving back to them what was never mine and it belongs to them.

I won't carry their burdens and weight anymore".

Taken from 2Quik's thread heart shattered to bits.

Thank you 2Quik for these words. I hope it's ok that I share them with others here and that this is the start of your journey towards healing.

Hello PamelaR, I do apologise for not thanking you much earlier but I've been off colour the last few days or so, physically, and really do appreciate all the kind remarks you have made to a group of people.

Thank you kindly.

Geoff.
