Hello everyone,
My name is Nathalie and this is my first message on the forum. I’m not sure this is how it works, let’s see.
I have read this post from Catherine about a garden of peace and I just want to thank. Indeed it matches perfectly something I was holding within since some days. Silence is really gold, I totally agree.
Sometimes, to put on default some ways of living can bring us new doors and this is one. Someone told me that maybe sometimes I can be people-pleasing. I was not very agree on that (as I love to live like a monk) but may be at hte first contacts ???
So yes silence is gold.
Wishing you a beautiful day of peace

Hello Nathalie,
Welcome to this forum. Yes, you figured out how it works. Hope you will enjoy being here.
People pleasing … isn’t the worst of features, I would say. As long as you find a way to be in balance with … one and all, yourself and your surroundings. Always remember … saying no to someone else, equals saying yes to self. Many of us, had to learn saying no and stand in power and light … still be loved and loving (possibly even more than sympathy pleasing??)
Anyway, welcome and enjoy your stay in the way that resonates with you.
Love and hugs 💓💞💕🌈🙏😘
Ralph

Hello, Nathalie, welcome to the forum! I’m so glad you enjoyed the article. I think I understand about what you mean, on first meeting or first contact with people, perhaps wanting a little bit to be pleasing.
I see nothing at all wrong (or that it’s not being true to oneself) in being pleasant. To me, it only becomes a little problematic if I agree with others in order to be “people pleasing,” when it’s something important and I don’t agree at all.
As I’ve gotten older, I certainly don’t care nearly as much what people think of me. This is quite freeing!
At any rate, thank you for contributing to the forum. I hope you feel like coming back and sharing more. You are very welcome here.🥰
Love,

Please keep the garden nice, there are insane pruners around who will cut it all down possibly.
