@Midnight Writer – Thanks for stopping by here! The comments are what really make these posts come to life – and I appreciate yours very much.

@Robin Easton – Hi Robin! Thank you thank you thank you!! You are too kind to me (I like it, though!). Robin, I think you see greatness because of the lens you are looking through. It comes from within – and you exude this quality like no one else I know. Really and honestly I mean this. You are an amazing lady – and I consider it a privilege to have you here and visiting me…

This is beautiful beyond words. This post is like reading a post about: "Who is Lance?" Lance is someone who gives freely, abundantly and with wide open heart and soul. I just can't get over how every time I come here I see how far reaching your love of Life and Humanity is. I see greatness. Robin Easton´s last blog post..Being True: are you?

I apologize for the piggy back post, but I made a typo in my first comment. It is corrected here. The Midnight Writer´s last blog post..Philadelphia Plastic Surgeon Appeared on Oprah Winfrey's 20th Anniversary Show

Has anyone else noticed how this enlightening subject matter has encouraged more comments on this post than most blogs ever see? It’s worth noting so each of us who visits here may take a piece of this energy and continue this dialogue in our blog posts, at least similar subject matter about life. I feel that it would benefit each of us who has commented on this post to visit at least one more site linked in the comment section, say hello and leave a link along with an unplifting message. The reason we all blog is to have our words shared by others reading them. We desire communication as living sentient beings and it is up to each one of us to take action in order to facilitate that communication. Reach out to others.

Thanks for sharing such enlightenment and hope. You are all beautiful people.

@The Midnight Writer – Oh, that’s such a wonderful point. Kids seem to “get” this. And if we could be more like that – how great that would be for everyone – if we just had that child-like belief that all is good in the world…

@Gemma – So, I’m taking from this – be yourself and share freely – until someone else does extra well – we should avoid this. And I agree. That is disempowering others when we allow that to happen. And, thank you for stopping by today!! It’s very nice to meet you, as well!

Community is very important, but I’ll take that a step further and say that it’s important that the community have a commitment to growth and empowering one another. Like any relationship there will be growth, to me it’s important that we respect each other and allow, even encourage each other’s growth without competition against, only within.

This is a beautiful post about life and how simplicity is really the key to happiness. I always wonder why we forget to be as little children while walking through this life. Joy is more accessible to a child. Seems as though we need to travel back and find our selves in that little child we once were. Thanks for the memories and inspiration.

Hi Giovanna – “Be Yourself, Share Freely” is actually a direct quote from Lance from an interview he did with Daphne at Joyful Days. It really got into my head

Hi Diane – I think some of the most important ideas are paradoxes. That makes them a little hard to practice, but very rewarding.

Hi Nathalie – Thanks for the compliment on my blog – glad you enjoy it Yeah, it’s nice that we all have something different to give – then we don’t have to do it all ourselves!

Hi Elizabeth – Yes! That’s a great philosophy. When sharing tasks everyone can take something that they like (or at least don’t mind doing).

Hi Alik – Good luck, but I’m sure you will find it

Hi Giovanna – Amanda really shared so eloquently what it means to share freely. And when we get a whole community doing this, great things can happen! Thank you Giovanna!

Hi Diane C. – The blogging community – a great example of “community”. And as a blogger, every one brings their own unique talents. That’s also a great thing about the blogosphere – the genuine sharing that takes place – and it fits so well with what Amanda has discussed. Great thoughts Diane!

Hi Nathalie – I love that picture too – that’s sharing at it’s best! The trees instead of the forest – a great analogy Nathalie – when we focus on the bigger picture – when we see what IS possible if we all share freely what we have to offer – that forest becomes a magnificent forest, growing lush and green!

Hi Elizabeth – Right on! If we all do a portion, and do what we like to do and are good at – then the sum of our works will be much greater than were we to do it all alone. This fits in well, I think, with what you’re writing about. Thank you for stopping by today Elizabeth!

Hi Alik – The community being people who come together to on a common bond. It’s a great place to get to. I wish you well, my friend, in developing a community that is dedicated to sharing freely – a wonderful place to get to indeed.

liked the “Community” part. I am on my quest of finding like-minded, finding my community, community i belong

I've found that one of the best things about community is the chance to divide tasks based on what people are good at and don't mind doing. That way, nobody has to do things they're bad at or hate. I write about "family skills" and "community" in my blogs, Gaiatribe: Ideas for a Thinking Planet and The Wordsmith's Forge. Elizabeth Barrette´s last blog post..Preparing for Ostara

First, like a few others said: I loved the picture!

Also, I think Amanda is doing great. I’ve read her blog a few times before and really enjoyed what she had to say. This time was no different. I especially liked how you highlighted that we all have something different to give. Sometimes it’s hard to remember that life wouldn’t be as fun we were all identical, when you’re looking at the trees instead of at the forest.

Hi Amanda, I really enjoyed your post! The title, “Be Yourself, Share Freely” is a paradox that I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Being part of a community such as the blogging community is wonderful. I’m grateful for the diversity of the gifts and also each member’s unique ways of participating and sharing.

Hi Amanda
I love the title “be yourself and share freely” Both are dear to my heart. I believe when we are honestly being ourselves, we will have more to share and also have more freedom to to share freely. So your post here speak right to my heart
Thank you for a great post.
