Second is empowering and influencing. I have identified that I am amazing at uplifting others and have been neglecting myself. With that in mind starting from today I WALK THE PATH OF MY OF MY GIFT peacefully, compassionate and caring for myself first to be capable to care/support my community. 1 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagI’ve been walking it my whole life, sometimes with intensity, other times with a lightness or ease. And then there are the times I hide it under a rock. All three could be going on around the same time with different gifts nudging the steering wheel at different times 2 Reply Hot Sauce1 year agoHot SauceSince my gift seems to be learning about deep, philosophical questions, I can walk the path of my gift by exploring and researching spiritual and philosophical ideas, sharing what I learn with others who are interested. 2 Reply dcdeb1 year agodcdebDive right into it. 2 Reply Don Jones1 year agoDon JonesWith devotion, dedication and a splash of determination. 3 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaWith the help of my brother!! [and others]. He observed that the difference between 1948 and 2021 is not 33 yrs, as I had written and failed, repeatedly, to question! 4 Reply Holly in Ohio1 year agoHolly in OhioPerhaps all gifts have encouragers, mentors, and guides. 🙂 Why, I think I like your math! It makes me… not old! 😀 4 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaHeh heh – my bro had an advantage, having been born in 1948; but I was born only 3 yrs before, so I regard it as rather senile of me to make such a bad error and fail to notice it so many times. But I can avoid making the same mistake again by using a calculator in the future 🙂 2 Reply Holly in Ohio1 year agoHolly in OhioSuddenly, this question has made clear to me why my life’s path has the coherency of a butterfly’s flight! LOL. Up, down, fast, slow, sideways, forwards, back, pause, repeat in some other order…! 4 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaButterflies are pretty cool, Holly – and they can affect whole weather patterns, according to chaos theory, as in Wikipedia, “Butterfly Effect”. 3 Reply Holly in Ohio1 year agoHolly in Ohio😀 Then let us hope it affects a Zephyr wind and not a Gale! “It was a calm and beautiful day, with only a slight zephyr to ripple the surface of the water, and rustle the woods on shore, and just warmth enough to prove the kindly disposition of Nature to her children.” — Henry David Thoreau, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, 1849 6 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaThank you, Holly! I just downloaded Walden to my kindle – I’m guessing it’s good bedtime reading 🙂 3 Reply Lauryn1 year agoLaurynBy first figuring out what your gift is. 6 Reply Judi1 year agoJudiI love writing and I love photography . . . and I love nature. So I bring my camera with me when I go for walks in nature. Many of the photos I take seem to call out for a response, and one of the forms of writing I enjoy is haiku poetry. I have created (and continue to create) photo-haiku. Some I simply keep on my computer – others I print out, mat, and frame and keep in my condo – or give as gifts to family/friends. 12 Reply Malag1 year agoMalagI really like that idea Judi 1 Reply Lauryn1 year agoLaurynThat’s a really cool idea— I need to try this. Thank you 5 Reply Nelson1 year agoNelsonFor me, it's with patience, gratitude, and faith. One gift is my knowledge in marketing. Currently, I'm building businesses with my colleagues. Last night, we were discussing that much about marketing is building systems. You may/may not get immediate results (sales), but you can tell by processes and metrics that the work we're doing is leading to where we need to be. I got me present to life. I may not see the end yet. But I know this feels right. I feel good. I'm thankful for my blessings. If...For me, it’s with patience, gratitude, and faith. One gift is my knowledge in marketing.

We moved to a different town, and since I no longer work, I haven’t made many (not any, really) friends or acquaintances. I usually think of listening, supporting, helping people reframe their life situations as being my primary gifts. But that was very much part of my profession. So I guess I would say I am walking the path of new or latent gift discovery with intention. 9 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaYou probably have many gifts, Katrina. May you enjoy walking your path – 2 Reply Amber Wright1 year agoAmber WrightAppreciate that I’m gifted. Unplug from the busyness of life regularly and think and meditate on my life purpose. Respect the gifts of others. Be intentional in all I do & set aside emotions sometimes. My actions should be representative of the gifts I have without any words explained and I have to remember that. What a question full of treasure. 8 Reply Patricia1 year agoPatriciaBy being aware of each step and not seeing the path as a way to “get somewhere” …. I enjoy giving, sharing, helping, listening — but too often I get exhausted by what goes out of me and need to pay better attention to what restores me. So the path requires that sometimes I need to sit down and rest. Oh, is that what that little bench over there is for?? 🙂 12 Reply Amber Wright1 year agoAmber WrightThis made my heart smile. Thanks for sharing. I could not agree more. 5 Reply Mica1 year agoMica‘heart smile’ 💕🥰- I like that, Amber Wright – and, Patricia, your plan to pay better attention to what restores you 🤗 😊 2 Reply Antoinette1 year agoAntoinetteI walk the path surrounding with gratitude. 7 Reply Samuel1 year agoSamuelMy gift, I believe, consists of an appreciation of others. I am "hard-wired" with empathy to want to help others. Often that "help" is in the form of simply listening in confidence as others spill out their fears, problems, hopes, sins, and shortcomings, knowing that nothing of what they have said will ever be revealed to others by me. I seldom offer advice; most already know a remedy for their difficulty but still need someone to listen and encourage and validate them.

Perhaps “Listening” IS my gift, as most of us “hear” but few truly “listen.” Read More10 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleListening and having empathy is a gift – you are 100% right Samuel:) 3 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowYour are very much a gift to those around you, dear Samuel… 6 Reply Pilgrim1 year agoPilgrimTruly listening is a wonderful gift, Samuel! 8 Reply DeVonna1 year agoDeVonnaBy not taking it for granted. As Kevin said, “I don’t own it”. My gift is my mind. It is also my greatest challenge. My mind drives me to create…I write, I knit, I paint… But my mind, my blessed imagination, takes me to some dark places that terrorize me as well. I manage my gift, use it in the best way I know how, and don’t allow it to take over. 12 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaDevonna, your meditation this week was about Lot’s wife? 2 Reply Denise1 year agoDeniseI walk the path of my gift by living my life with my eyes open. By seeing the path of my gift, the one lit by joy even as it traverses shadow, and by responding with gratitude in every step. 10 Reply devy1 year agodevyMy gift is being alive. I will be grateful for it and celebrate what living has to offer to me. I will go out into the world and experience all that life has to offer and be thankful that I am able to. My gift includes being able to mold myself into a new and improved person who can deal with my anxiety and support my inner child 11 Reply Lauryn1 year agoLaurynLove this. 5 Reply Amber Wright1 year agoAmber WrightYesssssssssssss. Reading this blessed my entire soul. Thank you. 6 Reply EJP1 year agoEJPWith pure gratefulness. 8 Reply Ose1 year agoOseI will try to keep awareness of what is my deepest longing and to share whatever possible for the sake of the well being of my fellow people. This may include to go beyond of once needed protecting defense mechanisms, which I feel is still quite difficult for me. To open up to vulnerability seems to be the call of the moment. Please wish me luck, and if you don´t mind, I would kindly ask for prayers. Thank you. 10 Reply Michele1 year agoMicheleI will light a candle for you Ose. 2 Reply Ose1 year agoOseThank you, dear Michele! Thank you for your support. 2 Reply Mica1 year agoMicaPrayers to you, dear Ose 🤗🥰 3 Reply Ose1 year agoOseThank you, dear Mica, for your heartfelt prayers. 3 Reply sparrow1 year agosparrowMy prayers are always with you, dear Ose, ever since I ‘met’ you here in etherland with love… sparrow ♥ 6 Reply Ose1 year agoOseThank you, dear sparrow, for your warm and loving reply 🌺 3 Reply Holly in Ohio1 year agoHolly in OhioYou have my prayers, also, dear Ose. 4 Reply Ose1 year agoOseThank you, dear Holly!
