We're right in the midst of the holiday season, offering thanks, giving gifts. But rather than being only joyous, this time of year can become fraught with anxiety. These kinds of questions accost us. Did I give enough? Are they pleased with me and my gift? What will I receive in return? Many feel drained and exhausted by all the demands they feel are upon them now. All of this only comes because we are not aware of what True Giving is. Instead we are caught in "transaction", the rule of the marketplace. You give me this, and I'll give you that. Or, my value depends upon others liking and appreciating what I give. This podcast explores the reality of True Giving, which is easy, natural, fun and has no negative consequences of any kind. Come join us in this exploration, and give what is truly fulfilling to both others and yourself.
