Do you know how to receive?

Now that the "giving" of Christmas 2010 is a memory, I thought that it would be poignant to write about learning to "receive" as a 2011 resolution.  Read on to understand that as we learn to receive, we will be better able to take care of ourselves and then actually have more to give to others.

Providing peace through calm communication, support, truth and love is what this world is hungry for.  Existing in the present moment and providing attention to another is the most genuine way of showing care.  We all strive for connection, even if only for a few moments.  In truth-filled reality, we search for connection 24/7 with a balance of human and spirit.  We must slow down in order to truly give of ourselves.  We must find stillness in order to receive support and then give support in return.  So many find it very difficult to receive.  Yet we must receive in order to be able to give.  For when we receive, we foster excess through which there is always enough to care for ourselves and for others.  We must no longer give from the emptiness that we may hoard.  We must fill the void, become whole and find balance in order to genuinely give.  We must truly understand our worthiness and accept it comfortably and then provide support to the worthiness of another.

Please solemnly promise to learn to "Receive" in 2011 and then continue a lifestyle that is a balance of giving and receiving.

Happy New Life !!!
