What do you consider to be important traits in helping others?
Listening, trusting, believing that you don't need to "fix" someone else to help them, seeing things from another's perspective, being unafraid if they don't "need" you, knowing that you're not always the person who can help a particular person, allowing help from others, staying open to the goodness in others...
What do you consider to be today's greatest issue that is in need of attention?
People's disrespect of their own bodies, spirits and minds; a lack of self-love and openness...
Would you like to contribute a possible solution to this issue? If yes, please explain.
Love yourself, and others will see this (someday). Lead by example, not with words.
Tell us about yourself...
I currently live in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and work with a women's holistic recovery center as a health counselor. I believe strongly in living close to the land, and am making steps to get closer to having that vision realized in my own life. I also still believe, despite contrary evidence, in the goodness of others, in the power of the body to heal itself if given space and time, in the wisdom of the earth. To garden is a spiritual experience; to truly listen to another, divine.

Kindest regards,
