“At the deepest level, there is no giver, no gift, and no recipient…only the universe rearranging itself.” -John Kabat-Zinn
Today I’m going to practice sharing me:
My best self
My laughter
My energy
My smile
My openness
My attitude
My talent
My wisdom
My willingness
My inner peace
My patience
My attention
My wholeness
My spirit
My joy
My vision
My dream
My beauty
My presence
My life
Won’t you please join me?

Ahhh, that word “gift” must have been in the cosmos yesterday. I love it! And I love the idea of sharing myself as a gift with the world: in how I breathe, act, think, and in how I simply am.
You’re a phenomenal gift, Tess, and I’m grateful each day I get to witness or experience you.
Happy Monday!

This is lovely and something I aspire to do on a daily basis. Sometimes the effect is more deeply profound than others. It is always good.

Hillary,
If your heart is dancing I count that as dancing and yours does!
Megan,
I feel the same way about you. Let’s just call it Divine Order.

Stacey,
Dance on!
Carolynn,
Yes it’s always good and it’s all good!
Karl,
I definitely want you to bring dessert!
Robin,
Thanks for the warning but I don’t know what it means or how to fix it. I’ll ask Lance. He knows everything!
Barbara,
Party at Karls and he’s bringing dessert;)
Angelia,
Yes we’re dancing, shining and radiating today, can’t get any better than this.
Peggy,
Bring your friends as guests!
Evita,
You rock!

Hi Tess – all I meant is that when you comment on LLF, your email address is wrong, and you haven’t noticed. It just means that your gravatar doesn’t show up – I fixed it for you the first couple of times by editing your comments, but kinda gave up on it. You just need to check it before hitting Submit (I notice you haven’t visited lately, so my apologies if I am overdoing things here).
