"In helping others, we shall help ourselves, for whatever good we give out completes the circle and comes back to us."
Flora Edwards

It is true! It is really true. No, that is grammatically incorrect to say something is REALLY true. It's either true or it's not. Well, that fact is true. By helping others, we gain more than they do. By helping others, we get the big benefit. And the cool thing is, we can always choose to help others. That's something we have complete control over. And that Karma thing, the Golden Rule, the Reaping And Sowing Truth is that helping others is for our benefit as much as theirs. That sounds like manipulation. That sounds like my heart is in the wrong place. Let's face it, we don't always feel like helping or giving or being kind, but when we make the choice to do those good things, even if we feel a bit of a sham when we do it, we are honored for our choice. Often our heart follows. I heard a lecture recently about the fact that people learn best from those just a little farther up the road. Three year olds learn from five year olds. Teenagers often listen best to young adults. Young parents are enlightened by those with just a little more experience. So remember, those women who are just starting out on this midlife divorce journey can learn best from those of you just a little farther up the road. Your experiences and insights are still fresh in your mind. You can identify with what she is going through better than someone too far ahead. That's one reason I started the RadicalWomenNetwork. Others can benefit from what we each have learned ... what we share. In helping, our healing gets on the fast track, too. So join the RadicalWomenNetwork on the midlifedivorcerecovery site and start helping. There are women everywhere who need your encouragement. And helping is exactly what you need, too.

"You're far happier giving than getting."
