generosity-part 2

4/4/2019

Awhile back I reflected on the fact that I wasn't a very generous person. Somehow, merely acknowledging this "out loud" has helped me to take the next step seemingly without effort.... to become a more generous person.

​One of the items on the list from the link I shared in that post was to spend time with a generous person. And to embrace gratitude.  I read the list and, to be honest, did not set out to do these things. Like I said, it was as if just putting the acknowledgment out there set my mind-- or rather, heart --in motion.  I have found that, through my yoga community, I did in fact surround myself with generous people. People who volunteer to make yogi tea, those who fill the studio and even the space by our front door with plants and also care for them, those who take the garbage out and clean it, some bring delicious & healthy food to share, and much more. 

I have watched and marveled at the ongoing generosity-- and have truly felt enormous gratitude for the time and efforts of each. I have discovered that that feeling of gratitude for those who give of themselves generously has shifted my own attitude towards how I value and spend my time and efforts. This is what makes a community and a life. The return on investment has no measure.

This is the second plant shared with me by one of those generous people in my community. I adore this little aloe and the spider plant which is still thriving my historically black-thumb (--is that the right term?).  Thoughtfulness and generosity because that is just what she does. 

I am so grateful.

​Sat nam!

    I am the Essential Soul Mama. I am a mama, a soulful-spiritual teacher, an intentional storyteller, and a lover of stories of all kinds, in all forms.  I write about emotions, parenting, natural health options, mind-body-soul connections, and anything that elevates our lives.
    I bring joy & health to my life and my family with the help of doTerra essential oils (EOs)- just one of the ways to bring elevating vibratory frequencies into our bodies. And I am all about elevating! 

    ​I call this journey: "Adventures in Life Yoga". Because Life IS Yoga (think: mindful living; a sense of wonder and awareness). And my hope is to share and inspire and serve so that more of us can feel that liberating sense of freedom which comes from walking in our Truth and in our Self-Authority.
