The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give your gift away.” – W. Clement Stone
The photo today is one of the journals I make decorate with original cover designs. They are all different. I originally made these to sell and sold 2 or 3. But I like to make these so I kept on. Finally I decided to start giving these as birthday gifts to friends and neighbors. The reactions to these gifts have completely surprised me. A few have grumbled but most have been really excited and there have been many smiles and a few tears.
When I stopped being afraid that we were going to starve if I couldn’t sell my artwork and began to share my gifts freely with others my life began to change. We all have gifts to share with the world. They do not have to be tangible material gifts, but making other feel seen and appreciated in even small ways are often the greatest gives we can offer.
