Let me Tell You a Story....

The individual stories that we have to share are not ones that we tell friends at a party or share over a cup of coffee.  The tales to which I refer are those that we witness in another persons life through our time together on this journey.  However, we sometimes miss the most important parts because we cloud it with judgement, assumptions and biases.

Try to stop and really soak in the magical plots that form through everyday living. If you open yourself to listening without your minds filters, you can witness some amazing journeys.

Every life has its own set of joys, sadness, hardship, celebrations and beauty.  They each have amazing lessons hidden in their happenings or the way in which the person confronts the occurrences in their life. Try not to be so wrapped up in your own story that you forget about the beautiful ones that are taking place all around us.

Whether a story is filled with adventure and living on the edge or working, taking care of house and family each has a value no different than the other.  If you open yourself to listen to their tale, the miracles of them all can be realized.

I am truly blessed to have a variety of people in my life that allow me to share their journey with them.  I have realized the value of friendship without judgement, bias and conditions.  I find it is a safe environment to share thoughts, feelings, hopes and fears.  It is a place where I feel truly honored to have traveled with others.  For there holds the magic, mystery and true excitement of their journey.
When you accept a person to share their stories without fear of rejection, judging and gossip you get to know them on a whole different level.  It provides the ability to support them, help them realize the beauty in their journey and celebrate it.

May you share your story with someone and listen closely to hear theirs.  It might not be heard from their lips but instead be laid out in front of you over days, weeks or years.  Be there to help them realize it, share it and rejoice in it.
