Profile Information

Why I'm choosing to give:
I know that giving is receiving. I need to give. I have more than enough and I want to get in touch with that holy spot in me that been buried with stuff. I know I will feel good.
What I'd most like to receive:
I want to receive peace. I know that it comes from within and I think that giving I can get closer to the peace. I need to let go of people, places and things that no longer serve me.

todays gift

What a wonderful gift this lesson is. I know that I am always, always afraid to give and then I am afraid not to give. I see others getting and then I do not get. Do I give to get? I give because I cannot not give. Guilt? maybe . Probably. I know that I am a people pleaser and I want others to like me. Then when they do I wonder why? It's all about me. I know that only I can hurt if I let the feeling happen. But I am feeling abused. By me then? How do I harden up? How do I not want to be good an… Continue

Yesterday I gave...

Yesterday I gave time to help decorate a store front. Now, that wasn't hard for me as I love decorating. So today I will decorate as well.

I give everyday. I just did not know it.

I give time, talent and money everyday. I hardly keep track of it though.

What I want is to give more. But I believe I am giving beyond what I can. I must look at that.

I'll ponder some more and get back to you.

giving on sunday....

Today I gave time to my grand children. they so wanted me to take them swimming and I so did not want to go out in the cold...but I did it and I did it happily. I gave up an argument. I gave some advice and maybe it wasn't listened to but I gave it non the less and I gave with no strings attached.
peace

Today I will give unconditional love

So today plan is give as much unconditional love as I can. I have realized that I tend to associate things and objects with love. Like, if I love you I do for you. If you cared for me you'd do for me. Love and things have somehow become intermingled for me. So today I will give unconditional love. I know that the minute I commit to this I will be tested, but I am ready. So here we go. I'll you know how this goes.....
