The Meaning Of Giving

As the holiday season quickly approaches, it’s a good time to remind us all what it truly means to give.

Giving isn’t about what you will receive in return. So giving does not involve expectation of a return gift.

The true meaning of giving comes from your heart. It may be made or bought…or my favourite is the gift of time. And that may come in the form of concert tickets or volunteering your time to help a friend.

With two little girls I’m also teaching about giving. And what I like to focus on is how it makes us feel. It makes us feel soooo good to give. It’s emotional. It’s heartwarming. And for that reason I’m also teaching the importance of receiving with love. To receive gifts without an expectation or disappointment if it’s not what we thought.

Life isn’t about what we get. Not at all.

It’s about thoughtfulness and love and intention. And appreciation.

Those are the real gifts.

And if we give from our hearts and receive with the same amount of love, that’s where we find the magic of Christmas.

Wishing you more peace, balance, happiness, vibrant health and lasting love.
