I have given away many gifts in the past 19 days. Most of the time, I knew the person I was giving a gift to. There were a couple strangers, and that was very rewarding, but I usually talked myself out of giving to strangers. I was worried that they might think I was stalking them and call the cops or something. In fact, I talked myself out of putting a flower on a stranger's car once because I was worried they would think they had a stalker...someday I am going to put a bunch of flowers on a bunch of cars in the same lot in the hopes I can avoid this problem.
Today, though, I gave a gift to a person who is a friend of a friend and who is going through a transition in her life. I do not know her and have never met her.
The idea for this gift came while I was at a Reiki share, so I would like to think it was divinely inspired.
Over the years, I have bought a number of stone charms that have attributes to help with specific challenges in my life. One was an ametrine, an amethyst stone that is turning into a citrine. Since it is naturally occurring, it is a stone already in transition itself.
The stone is supposed to give the wearer protection and strength.
When I gave this to our mutual friend, I did not specify that they say it came from me. I just wanted her to have the gift. If she thought it came from the person delivering it, that was fine. That was just something I was adding to my strengths - giving with no recognition in return.
I hope she at least thinks the stone is pretty. But, stones don't really give us power, they remind us to find our own. So, I hope she finds her own strength...
And to you all, Joy...Joy and Magic.
