Her three favorite words are: REACH, DREAM, LOVE
She is a dreamer, indeed, always reaching, and definitely loves.
She believes that if you welcome people into your life, your life becomes richer. That seems to me to only make sense if the people are of value to enrich your life, rather than those who deplete your energy.
There are plenty of those people around.
She was hurt really badly in her past, and developed a hard core, and built high walls around her for self protection. She became hard and calloused on the inside. Yet, no matter what her past experience is, or what her present feelings are, she is STILL compassionate toward others.
It is truly amazing to me how many people have been hurt badly in their past – so much so that they develop a hard core and build up those high walls. I bet a lot of people are like mamma, but they develop such a hardness and callousness within them that they cannot even feel anything, nor are they able to be sensitive to others needs. I see that mamma is more sensitive to the feelings and needs of others and less sensitive to her own feelings and needs. She taught me, so I learned, and am still learning that any kind of personality, no matter how hurt or hurting, can be presented and projected in a kind, gentle way. What mamma tries to impart in others, is not hardness (even if it is still deep within her), but understanding.
Hurting people hurt people, but love can heal and change them. I like to believe I have helped soften my mamma on the inside. I love my mamma very very much, and she loves me much much more - and that is the law of increasing returns.
