We Are The Gifts

We are the gifts to each other. At this time of year, this can be overlooked in the midst of all the ads for holiday shopping.

Yes, the lights are very pretty at this time of year, and let that is symbolic of how we light up each other's lives.

I see that in the smile on people's faces as we complete a session and they let me know that they feel better because of healing, ideas and insights they have received, and they look lit up going back out into the world.

We are the gifts to each other all year long, every day of our lives, with each person in our lives teaching us something, helping us when we need help, and being a friend with whom we share good times. We all choose what we will give and to who. And that is why the word gift is so appropriate.

When we choose to share time and energy with someone, those are the most previous things we have to give. When a phone, computer or car breaks, it can be troublesome and cost us a lot, but, of course, we can get another one.

On the other hand, the hour we gave to someone is something we cannot get back. Consider that for a moment.

When we choose to spend time and energy with someone, that can open the door for positive developments and the nurturing of relationships. Once we have given someone this piece of our lives, we can never get it back, so make the best of it you can. Imagine that every day we are giving gifts to each other with all the things we do. When you look at it that way, then every day becomes a gift in itself.

It always amazes me how our paths cross, even though know that spirit orchestrates all of our meetings and interactions. So think of the time we have each day as a huge bag of gifts we can give away mindfully to all those we interact with, which puts a glow on each encounter, each exchange. Every moment of every day, have opportunities to give each other gifts. Are we conscious of this? How does it change our day when we are?

How does our world look once we see each other as the greatest gifts we could possibly give or receive? Your presence is the real present.

Any time any one of you contacts me, it really helps make my day whether you want to make an appointment or just to keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. I like hearing your stories of what has been happening since the last time we met. And of course, I am always ready to help with what is next. Let this note help make your day. I love you.
