Define the terms of what you can give, and give that and only that, because after all, you’ve got to save something for yourself, so as not to deplete those vital stores that you in turn will need for your journey. Give without contempt, without regret, and without the expectation that reciprocity will be granted. Release what you give into the Universe, and trust that it will be used in a way that is needed, then let it go.

Love manifesting.

These early hours are particularly unsettling because I’m thinking about just how much growing up I’ve had to do. I’ve had to confront  Continue reading “From Whence the Rains Came”
