Forgiveness

I am normally very healthy and the past few days I have experienced signifcant pain in my back from an unexpected injury .... it spread around to chest muscles, too, and as I lay in bed awake, breathing through the pain, trying to locate and heal the source, I had the sense that my heart needed healing. Through my practice of yoga I have come to understand the connections among emotional and physical, and saw this as an opportunity to heal something deeper. My wise teachers say, when we heal…See More

I've tried to start this type of giving practice with my family for years, but they are mostly resistant. I would LOVE for them to come around one year. I really like your approach of easing into it and letting others know in advance that this…

Hooray for YOU!!!! we did the same this year, I am so disheartened by the shameless consumerism, and frantic-ness that puts such a fog over the real meaning of the holidays. So we started a micro loan fund on KIVA.org. It funds people who are trying…

A genuine thank you from that woman at work I gave a care package to; she shared that many shy away from her since lay off notice.

Why I'm choosing to give:
It's been a challenging year working in the education field; we've been faced with significant budget cuts and students with more needs. Colleagues and friends have lost jobs. Everyday I must find the strength to walk back in and try my best to be positive while surrounded by many who are struggling financially, emotionally, mentally, physically. I often feel depleted. I count my blessings everyday and feel that I needed to reconnect more deeply with an unconditional giving spirit. I believe in energy flow and that it is time for a significant shift in consciousness. The positive energy of the universe is unlimited; just needed to remind myself of this truth and share it. I will share this movement with others, including students, friends, yoga students, colleagues, strangers) and participate in being the change that we would like to see in our world.....just because it supports positive energy movement in the world.
What I'd most like to receive:
Renewed energy, passion and sense of expansion. The courage to move into another type of work that may positively reach more people and allow time for greater creativity.

Choosing to give to charity for the holidays

Posted on December 16, 2009 at 8:36am 5 Comments

My husband and I have decided that we will move away from the traditional gift buying for family members to giving to charity in place of holiday gifts. We started a little this year, but realize it is a transition for other family members. So, we're letting them know this year what to expect from us next year and also asking that they do the same in return for us next year.

A great giving option

I just donated for the second time to this wonderful cause: Kondwa Children's Foundation.....they provide basic necessities and schooling for children. You can search for their website and they offer $30- donation cards for holiday gifts or just because.

Nature Conservancy Idea to Share

Posted on December 2, 2009 at 5:56am 1 Comment

Here's a great gift giving idea for this year: The Nature Conservancy has several levels of gifts that help restore and save our environment....give the gift of trees being planted or save an acre around the world or help to save an endangered species: http://support.nature.org/site/PageServer?pagename=holidaygiving_xx_hgg
