Judgment...

Have you ever been told how to raise your kids? I have by my mother recently, did it ever get my fire moving. I let her know that I realize her intentions are good and I will let her know or ask her for her opinion/input if I want it.

I know within my self I am done dancing that dance with her. I have my own family, and I am making decisions on how I am going to raise them...

This brought up a very interesting topic for me to explore. Judgement.

I for one, judged single mothers / people on welfare and did not even want to think of them, this is because they were an aspect of my consciousness.

I was a single mother for a number of years... and I was on welfare for a very long time. I held shame for relying on others for so long and for asking for help from family.

I had to get rid of the shame, and when I did... I can look at the people I once judged and see their brilliance and potential.

In the new year I am going to create a space through a workshop where I will invite those who are experiencing difficulty in their lives to come to realize and explore their potential. I am very excited about this! :o)

So now I wonder... if find yourself judging someone... is a reflection of yourself?

Hmmm, interesting thoughts to ponder...
