Hello Special People
I was sitting in the office wondering what I could use as my topic for today when I reflected back on what we had done today.
The answer was Giving and Receiving.
The Law of Giving is straightforward – If you want joy, Give Joy – If love is what you seek, offer love – If you crave material affluence, help others become prosperous – Deepak Chopra.

It affects so many parts of our lives. John and I were up at 5 am this morning to go and make sandwiches for our homeless. It is such a rewarding experience. You feel so happy after you have finished knowing full well you have given so many something to eat and making a difference. Yes, so from this, we receive so much joy. Our next port of call was our weekly gym session. Still not sure if I enjoy this hour. But I know I must give of myself to receive an improvement in my health. So, guess when I work hard, I can feel the improvement. Totally different ways of Giving and Receiving but emphasizes how this wonderful law plays its part in our lives.
“You can only give what you allow yourself to receive. You can only receive what you are willing to give.”

I even look at our grandchildren with their studies and sport. As they have grown older, they very well realize the success in exams comes from the time they give to learning, and in sport, the other theme, practice makes perfect, comes to the fore. If you give time to your preparation, you will receive the results you are aiming for.
"Only by giving are you able to receive more than you already have."
Even in business, we have found when you give effort, you receive the rewards you were aiming for and deserved. I could give you so many examples in our own business and in others that I have supported and nurtured along the way.
Giving opens the way to receiving.
Every time we give, it opens the possibility of receiving. Living is dependent on giving. We give, and therefore we receive. This inter-dependence is natural. It only takes a special effort to train our minds to know that our understanding is clear and strong. Never be afraid to Share – you will be rewarded.

I love the story of the Bee and the Flowers. Go to your fields and gardens, and you shall learn that it is the pleasure of the bee to gather honey of the flower. But it is also the pleasure of the flower to yield its honey to the bee. For the bee, a flower is a fountain of life. To the flower, a bee is a messenger of love. To both the bee and the flower, giving and receiving pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.
So let's have some fun this week and picture ourselves as bees and flowers. Giving and receiving and "IF you want to ask one question, ask yourself, what are you giving to the universe, and only that will be returned." Amit Ray

It would be remiss of me as we talk about the bees and flowers, not to mention how this simple law applies to our beautiful roses. It is necessary to give lots of TLC, nurturing, watering, fertilizing etc to be able to receive and enjoy the gorgeous blooms that I have the pleasure of picking each day. This law applies and affects so many areas of our day to day lives.
I would love to close tonight with this Great Pearl of Wisdom to ponder – "No one lost anything by giving. A tree loses nothing by giving away its fruits.”Bangambiki Habyarirmana.
We send our love and blessing for peace, health and happiness.
Cheers Annette
