To Yourself & Others
How do you give back to yourself and others? Your inspiration and motivation to give of yourself to others. Your passions that drive you to step up for a cause. Sharing your time, talents and ideas.
Do you share your talents, experience and knowledge with others? Living a purposeful life. Being open to opportunities as well as challenges. Discovering your values and putting them into action!
How do you nourish and nurture your spirit? Being aware of your appreciation and gratitude. Sharing your kindness and compassion. Discovering what is important and what matters in your life!
Sometimes it is about forgiving and being able to move on! It is about finding grace and being the bigger person at times. There are times where you do not see the error of your ways and need a little direction or advice or just a self-check! Being more mindful and a little less judgemental.
Does it add enjoyment and satisfaction to you and your life? Sometimes it feels good to be the giver and not just the receiver. Sometimes it feels good to stop, breathe and just reflect. Sometimes it feels good to CELEBRATE!!!

I have been thinking a lot about this. My friend just received a difficult medical diagnosis and I have been thinking about what I can do for her…I feel a bit helpless but am trying to remember that even small gestures can help. I will take her to a new cafe next week and am trying to offer other small things, like helping her drop her library books off at the library, etc.

Cecilia –
That can be a difficult situation because sometimes people are not open about asking for help or what they need. You are helping and doing what you can. I am sure your friend appreciates that and just being there too. Wishing you the best!
