Giving and Receiving

When we Give we also have to be open to Receive. If we only Give and shy away from Receiving we stop the flow gratitude in our Giving. Receiving is not something we were taught to accept. I see adults shy away from the uncomfortable feeling of someone saying a heartfelt thank you, usually this is said "Oh, don't worry it was no big deal to help you" this statement zaps the good in your giving. Next time you give and someone says Thank You, consider saying this " I received as much as I gave to you, this has been an amazing time and I am grateful to hear your words. This statement uplifts the other person to another level of receiving and you in giving. The flow of gratitude continues and continues. In honor of all Mir Lynne Pietrzyk
