What Do You Want . . . To Give?

[Nirvanadragones]

I've been counting my Blessings lately, cherishing that which I have, giving thanks, and holding them close to my heart. More so than usual. Even though I'm grateful, and in awe of what I have, I still want more.

I use the "What Do You Want?" thread often to give voice to my needs. And I realise that the thread is open to express needs of wanting to receive, and needs of wanting to give. Yet, most of us lean towards wanting to receive. And of course there's nothing wrong with that. I'd like to feel the balance, though. I'd like to give the universe as much of my energy as I pull and desire.

What do you want "to give" someone else? What do want to get rid of? What do you have to offer in this moment?

 

[Nirvanadragones]

I'll start.

I have some left overs from last night's butternut and orange soup, if anyone's interested. It's really very good.

I want to give someone close to me sanctuary, even for a little while, for her to get the rest she needs to start healing.

I'd like to give a friend the peace of mind that she's doing what is best for her. I'd like to make her hurt less.

I'd like to give Her all the moments I can, where she knows exactly how much she means to me.

can i have the butternut recipe?

I really,desperately want to give peace and rest to someone right now but I sent lullabies to help.

I'd love with all my heart to give health and healing to my husband but I give hugs and support instead.

I have comforting words aplenty, if anyone needs them they only need ask.

I want to heal you and stop your confusion and pain.

I want to hug you.

I want to be able to kiss my nieces and nephews every day.

I want to change their views.

I want to be able to give my mom some quality time.

 

[Stella_Omega]

I want the butternut recipe too!

I want to give my sister the confidence she needs to take the next step.
(or help her find it)

I want to do the same for my son.

I want to teach someone else how to use my woodworking tools, and watch them learn to love the craft.

I want to, someday, create a scholarship fund for visually talented children, and also a curriculum for them, because they often learn differently from the norm.

I have eight beautiful white-and black cats, each one a charmer-- any takers?

 

[starrkers]

Oh yeah, I'd like that butternut recipe too (seeing as I currently have a productive vine ).

I want to give my children a love of the simple things.

I want to give an acceptable singing performance when the show finally opens so I don't embarrass the rest of the cast (though right now I'm scared to death).

I want to give someone patience, peace and a sense of purpose.

i want to help give a friend a chance at a new life and to help them heal.

i want to give my strength, support, and many hugs to anyone that needs it.

i want to give someone close to me a real life hug and to let her know she is truly loved.

i want to do whatever i can to protect my friends and always be there for them.

i want to give someone i've been missing a call and revitalize a friendship that has faded with years.

there's someone close to me, that i wish could look into my heart and soul and see there is nothing to fear. i want to make her dreams come true and see her happy and to feel loved. i would give her the world if i could, but since i can't...i'll give her my love, my friendship, my trust, my understanding, and my heart (as hard as that is for me to do). i ask for nothing in return...being allowed to love is enough.

I want to give away some of our things to people who need them, as we have way too much stuff.

I want to give my son the ability to be a good human and not a spoiled brat with a rampant sense of entitlement.

I want to give my mother more energy and patience.

I want to give a close friend of mine relief from the 2nd degree burns she has covering her arm.

I want to give thanks to amazing friends, who never cease to inspire me.

I want to return the favor someday.

We're awfully metaphysical here!

I have hundreds of good books, and I might be persuaded to part with one or two.

I have a sewing room full of fabrics (didn't expect that, did you!) much of which is suitable for patchworking...

I have a pattern that I've developed for a simple doll-- she is very very sexy, and I will make copies for anyone who wants her. ESPECIALLY anyone who can help me make clothing patterns for her!

I have two sacks full of well-loved beanie babies, and my kids are finally willing to let them go.

And the cats, don't forget the cats...

 

[ABSTRUSE]

Beauty.

I make blankets. Does someone need one?

(btw: we believe that a handmade blanket retains part of the maker's soul, so that when it is wrapped around you, you are being held by the maker )

That's beautiful. I've always believed that about anything handmade.

That's why the rehab center I send them to on Pine Ridge wants only handmade blankets, and gives them to the kids to take home with them when they leave.

(thanks, I think its a beautiful belief, too)

Aw, damn it. Now I'm getting all teary. Thanks.

My daughter always says my cookies are the best because they're made with love.
