Gifts

I think I had forgotten for a while, why I started to blog in the first place. I have had, and continue to have, some wonderful thoughts that I consider to be gifts from the Universe. Sometimes they work themselves around in my mind until I know I have to share them. That is what blogging is to me. It was also the inspiration for my books.

Lately I have been putting so much of my energy into trying to figure out what to do with my life. The plans I had haven’t worked out and I’m staring into, what I have seen recently as a bleak future. How could I write blogs that would uplift people and lend hope in these troubled times feeling that way? A couple of days ago I made a commitment to myself that I would do whatever it took to find my way out of my negativity.

As usual, the Universe has sent me a wonderful multi layered gift. A friend suggested I read a little book called “The Go-Giver”, by Bob Burg and John David Mann. The multi layer part is the recognition of the importance of my friends. I have wonderful, loving, beautiful, friends and I give thanks for them. All of the people in our lives add to the intricate tapestry that is our lives.

Then there is the book! I encourage you all to find a copy of this little book and read it with an open heart. It says it is a “powerful business idea” but I see it as a beautiful life lesson. I would love to tell you all about it here but I believe you may be better served by letting the story unfold for you and seeing what ever it is you are to see as a result of your own experience. I read the entire book in a couple of hours.

I found it at my local library. Libraries are one of the best kept secrets of our time. They are an opportunity to try out lots of books to find the ones we are most served by. The library is also a place to find books to help relax and to find a laugh or a cry, whatever we need for that day. When we find a special book we can then purchase it, to have it around, like an old friend, for reference and comfort.

So I did have something to share after all. This time I started with gratitude and let the words just flow. Thank you, my friends, for giving me this opportunity to share with you once again, the thoughts and ideas that flow through.

I wish you all the blessing of friendship and a strong awareness of your own value.
