I have decided that giving is going to be my way of life. The joy is so overwhelming. And what I have been getting back just blows me away. If I could describe the biggest change that has occurred in my life in less than 2 weeks of giving, I would s…
Glad to hear you doing this. We need to take care of ourselves as well as others or it doesn't work. Hope you are rested and headache free soon.
There's something special about giving like this - and you never know when the chance will come. What a lovely gift.

Glad you had such a beautiful day with your friend and your dog and the quiet solitude. You deserve many such days. love from Pauline
I think your gift was your willingness to receive from your family. It sounds to me like your giving is wearing off on them - how loveloy!
How exciting to get your medicine necklace! I keep looking at that as a give to myself as well. I send prayers your way for your family - I'm sure your support of them during their time of need is a perfect gift!
Today was a good 'mindful' day. I tried really, really hard to stay connected to all humans, nature, God etc.... First I took our yellow lab for a nice long walk (he LOVES his walks). The sky was overcast and grey and I really relished the quiet and…
