This week has been extremely trying. The most I was able to give this week was patience and a shoulder to cry on and it was daily, 7 days of patience and a couple days of a shoulder.
My spirit was low by Wednesday and I needed a release. Then I received a gift of a shoulder to cry on, which felt so good. It made me realize that I am giving a true gift when I give patience and a shoulder. The people receiving it are grateful and feel a bit lighter. Continue

It feels good to give.

Since I started this 29 day giving challenge I have given away coffee (decorated elegantly), purchased lunch for someone who really needed it, gave away our services for a party to two people, and I cannot remember the rest. My brain is fried. Life is busy right now and it feels good to stop and recognize someone else's needs and give them something that can lift their spirits a little.

We also gave away two kittens.. Ok, so that doesn't exactly count as we really wanted them gone. But they did… Continue

I just spent from June 1st to August 9th caring for my mother. It was the best giving I've ever done.

My mother is finally at peace and I miss her greatly. As much as my heart ached for her while alive watching her in pain, my heart aches now because I miss her so much. I dont have any regrets, I cared for her the best I could and gave my all. I know she died knowing she was loved.

It was the most exhausting giving I have done, and I certainly didnt see it as giving some days, it was hard.. but I am so glad I did.

Trying to make my moms last days the best they could possibly be was also a gift to myself.

Thanks for the comment! Teachers are unappreciated these days. Our classroom mothers do a good job at spoiling ours.

Today's gift was a surprise. Plus it taught me how much I really do want to help others and create a positive experience. My life has been a bit rough lately. Each day I try to wake up with a positive attitude and give the day my best. Today was re…

Happy day ALL!. This afternoon I will make a pan of shortbread for my Art League meeting. They love Lorna Doones so I thought I'd treat them to the real thing. All the stuff is out on the counter waiting for me to finish a few looming work reports.…

Mine is a story of resistance. I read Cami’s story in Yoga Journal and felt drawn to it, yet dragged my feet to commit. I came up with dozens of reasons why I shouldn’t do it; thanksgiving, my son’s b-day, the upcoming Christmas holidays, starting u…

I realized halfway through the day I hadn't given anything or even thought about it. I gave my Weight Watchers treat to a young woman in my office who told me her mom was on Weight Watchers. I thought she might not know about these terrific "1 point…

Well, it may be all due to global warming, which is a decidedly bad thing, but I've never gotten so much conversational mileage out of unseasonably cold weather. Everyone from the parking valet guy when I went to grab a quick lunch at Baja Fresh (he…
