Giving Time

Every day I thank the highest power of Love for all the wonderful gifts I have in my life, and I am often overwhelmed with the incredible joy of having people who love you. And I also notice that the more I give my love to others, the more I get it back, genuinely. Which is a big part why I am making this conscious decision to GIVE every day. I already am seeing changes!

My gift today was time spent with a friend. Make that quality time. A friend of mine texted me asking if I wanted to meet up in the evening, and I figured it would be a good opportunity for me to give my time and energy to my friend for a little time. I stayed longer than I expected and it turned out to be a gift for myself as well! I had a great time milling around with him, and then having a wonderful, rich and open conversation. My gift to him was also my gift to myself!

As I'm doing this, some days I get worried I won't have time to give. But then I remember when I was reading about the 29 days of giving, how the gifts can be as small as a hug or a smile or a phone call, as long as they come from a giving place. I'm seeing how being conscious about giving is helping me see people more, notice them more and look at them with a more open-heart. People I may not have noticed before I'm looking at and feeling their energy. It's definitely allowing me to connect better with those around me - something I'm always happy to grow on!

I hope you guys who are reading are thinking more about giving in your life and will take the 29 day challenge. Also, give to yourself. And let the gifts come from love!

All the best :-)
