 By nature, us too, the helpers, feel all the time. So when natural disasters strike, like Hurricane Sandy, we organize. When a friend has an emergency, we show up. We feel, we are generous, we are sentimental. We, as Anne Lamott says, are the overly sensitive child. But here's what I'm learning when I take those quiet moments and meditate and ask God and the universe to guide where I go, what I say, and who I interact with each day. It's important to remember myself in that moment and ask for my own blessings of health, peace, and happiness. It's a self-care piece. If I don't help and bless myself, how will I continue to help and bless others?
