Re: Soapbox Moment (kind of...)

[Guest guest]

Very well said, Dax! It's good to have that balance of wanting people

to know and understand and yet also having compassion and understanding for

where people might be at a particular point in time.

You're so right - our lives are the best " testimonial " of the value of

cleansing that we can offer. When others are at a place where they are ready

to hear, then they will. People need to arrive at the truth in their own

time and their own way. I'd imagine there might have been a time in many of

our own lives when we would have thought this stuff was nuts, too!

Thanks for sharing your soapbox moment.

in health,

So true, ...I don't think you would've gotten me near a bottle of

Olive Oil until I had experienced sheer agony! I find it important to look

backwards sometimes, before going forwards and important to remember who I

was when I was not so *enlightened*!

Hindsight is a wonderful thing...but only experience brings wisdom...

Hi Dax,

Thank you for such an encouraging and thoughtful post. It's good to

have a forum like this one, with people who understand where we are

coming from, and to freely express our thoughts in a way that we might

not otherwise express. It's good too to be reminded of our beginnings

and the journey that we ourselves have been on. Several years before

my husband considered going into the field of chiropractic, he laughed

at someone who claimed their chiropractor had helped them with their

allergies. Now he and I know, from personal experience, that

chiropractic can help people with allergies. So, we all are at

different stages in our awareness, and I'm thankful for those who have

been patient with me along the way.

I completely agree, Dax. This is one of the reasons that I keep a journal

(at least from time to time.) It can serve as encouragement, to look back

and see where I was at a previous point in time. Or it can also serve as a

challenge, when I look back and see particular areas that are still in need

of change! I'm sure there will be a time when I look back at THIS point in

time and realize how little I actually knew.

Life is about change and growth and moving forward!
