A sunday evening quote from the Talmud to reflect on.

Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it.


...be the change you want to see.
much love,
Nadine

Thank you for this Nadine. I think many of us feel overwhelmed because we hold ourselves accountable for a finshied product before we start a work. I love the idea that my only obligation is to get to work. I love the idea that my role may simply be to water seeds already planted by someone else. I love it. Thank you for sharing...I have been blessed

Very inspiring, in a way. This means that we should be responsible and can take a break once in a while. Thanks for sharing this.

My only comment on this topic of Warm Spirit

I created my blog to have a place that I can post an update of the things going on with me and document my continuing journey particularly with Soul Purpose. If you look at my postings you will notice that I do not comment negatively about anyone or any organization but I speak the truth as it relates to me. I have tried and maybe it is was foolish not to speak about Warm Spirit ; because the pain is still there for me but I know that what ever I may say can easily be misconstrued and twisted. So speaking about Warm Spirit can be a dangerous thing. My feelings about my ex business partner and the lack of integrity he displayed in between him and I is not a fight for the general public. I have read however, some comments from a few Warm Spirit consultants, that have finally even through their negativity, shined some light as to why people continued on with Warm Spirit even after I left. I want to take a moment to clear up any misconceptions and then close the book on this discussion; f

Your Soul Purpose on Sunday Morning

Happy Sunday Morning! I woke up this morning to new postings on the blog with some pretty incredible people sharing about their soul purpose. While I know that I may be emotional at this time in my life, I must admit that I was weepy when I read these entries and I felt again the calling that God has on my life. What if we had the voices of 3,000 people sharing their "soul purpose"? Can you imagine the power of those words? Can you imagine the power of that book? Can you IMAGINE????????? My favortie thing to do on Sunday mornings before going to church or doing anything else is to watch my favorite program, "Sunday Morning" on CBS. It keeps me abreast of the world from a cultural, political, spiritual, and sociological perspective. I love it! This morning, I also watched "Meet the Press" and was intrigued by the commentary on the presidential political campaign. A very interesting debate and commentary and race is emerging and I am very eager to see how it

Welcome

Welcome to my website, to my story and to what I hope will be our conversation. I have been a counselor, a coach, and an entrepreneur and what I know is come to realize that a healthy, loving community--even one that begins on-line-- can sustain individuals and support them on their journey to empowerment. My thought is that much can be accomplished if we just take the time to listen to one another and that healing often occurs during the quiet reflection that occurs both during and after conversation. Telling your authentic story, I believe, is an empowering experience and the story can be told either through the spoken or written word. At Nadine Thompson.com I do two things: tell my story (so you know who I am and you can see what we have in common and what interests you) and begin to create an on-line community in which everyone who wants to, can participate. Please feel free to sign up for my email list; sign the guest book and participate on my blog if you wish. This can be our co
