Grateful Opportunity

When Karen Ely suggested we read "29 Gifts" and sign on to the website I had no idea what special gifts would become available to me! Every day I have received a gift from a new special woman. Thank-you to all of you. I have been using this model to give my husband a gift every day for the past 22 days as he has just had surgery for colon cancer. What a wonderful opportunity to "grow" my relationship. I had to leave and come to New York to help with my grandchild so I asked my clients and friends for help in bringing him dinners at night since I wouldn't be there. This was new for me to ask so many people to help and everyone was so happy to participate. Another wonderful new lesson for me to learn was to let my clients help because they had offered. I decided to give myself a gift 2 days this week and sent myself beautiful cards as well as sending them to my dear husband and my family and friends. I am really working on expanding and enlargening my worth so including myself in receiving a gift felt so wonderful. Thank-you for the opportunity of sharing the gifts I am receiving just participating in this incredible project of "sharing gifts".
Blessings, Julie

To Lois 55! What a special treat to receive your lovely message of encouragement. I am so awed by the way you have reached out to me at a difficult time in my life. I feel so lucky that Karen Ely told me about this group and that I signed up not knowing how powerful a group we are and how the messages of hope pass on to those who need a special little hug or words of encouragement! God bless you with angels of joy today and every day! JulieD

Thank-you Julie. Besides having an active therapy practice, helping my children as a granny and helping my husband grow and heal from many illnesses, I find myself sometimes out of breath and needing special words such as yours to keep me growing and able to wake up and find joy with each day. Thank-you for contributing to my life today! Blessings Julie D.

Prayers and healing thoughts go out to your hubby and to you, as you balance such a heavy load. Yes, it is important to gift yourself with encouragement and soul-brighteners so that you can be strong to care for those you love! The whole point of Cami's message was that the focus on giving brings many rewards in turn and you'll find that it just gets better and better as your awareness increases! You obviously find joy in giving and helping, so allow others the opportunity to know that same joy by helping YOU! It's a wonderful circle, this giving challenge!
Best of luck. Wishing you a gentle week.
