During my first 35 plus years I was a “taker”, always concerned with my own welfare and “getting mine”, a position which was totally understandable given my history. Since then, I have become a “giver”, particularly after my near-death-experience in 2006. During that experience I came back to this plane in order to be of service and part of the love I found there. Over the years I have realized that if I do something or give something to or for someone with any expectation of a return behavior or gift ... I have not really given a gift. I can and do certainly enjoy any gift or gratitude, but not expect it. In order to avoid the expectation I often ask myself “is this a gift freely given?”
