Giving and Gratitude

 

I know that at this time of year, everyone seems to be talking about Giving and Gratitude.

 

Honestly, there are times that I go through my busy day (probably very similar to yours), look at my checkbook and the bills as well as my to do list (which is more like a wish list these days), and feel like if I am asked to give one more thing, I will either explode or be ripped to pieces. 

 

YUCK!  How did I get to this place where my smile is lost and replaced with this awful crease in my brow!  Here's the answer that is hard to face... I chose to be in that place. 

 

I forgot that there is:

·                     a big difference between having a busy day vs. a frenzied day,

·                     a Huge difference between paying bills, being glad I can pay what I can and then walking away vs. sitting, stewing and racking my brain with worry about how things will work out,

·                     an ENORMOUS difference between giving energy, money, or time to myself which allows the energy to flow easily to others through me vs. hoarding the energy, money, time, etc. which only seems to stop things up!

I have learned and usually have to re-learn this lesson often. :)

 

To thine own self be true...

 

I must show generosity, love and kindness to myself FIRST only then can I pass it on. 

 

I don't want to pass on this furrow in my brow!

 

You've come a long way, Baby! (Sorry to use the Virginia Slims tag line but it fits!)

 

I have felt a real push lately to provide an opportunity for everyone to get together and share their experience, strength and hope.  I can't adequately express my excitement about this event! 

 

My intent for Celebrate You! is for everyone to go home after this event feeling wonderful because they shared their victories and progress from the past year.  I would like each person to be able to bring information about books, videos, techniques, people, places and things that have helped them achieve those victories or make that progress. 

 

By the end of the evening, everyone will get a chance to take home whatever information that they think would be helpful to achieve whatever personal goals that they have set for the next year!

 

If I only knew then what I know now...

The experience, strength and hope that we can give and receive can prevent someone from having to re-invent the wheel!  When I am struggling, getting the chance to speak with someone who has found resources and has made progress or arrived victoriously on the other side of the struggle, can be a carrot to work towards or a light at the end of the tunnel that spurs me on with hope and new "tools" to try.

 

This event will allow all of the participants to experience aromatherapy, explore during a Star Meditation, provide healing energy to our planet and participate in a generosity generator exercise!

 

For those that can't make it that evening, PLEASE send me your info!  Send me any person, place, technique book video, etc. that has helped you on your Journey in 2007!

 

 Celebrate YOU!!

 

An evening to gather with like-minded people to celebrate progress, success and victory experienced on our life's journey. 

 

We will be experiencing aromatherapy, sharing, and meditating. 

 

Please bring a list of the tools in your health tool box that you would like to share with the class e.g. helpful books, people, places and techniques, etc.
