What sacrifices have you made in life?
As of this day I own absolutely nothing. I have a car with a loan out on it. Thatās all I own, or, I should say, borrowing. Other than the few things I have in the studio, and, of course, Bobber my cat.
One of my biggest love languages is the giving of gifts. Iāve given everything I own away. I gave my house to my first ex husband (that house was technically mine).
I also had 20 acres of land. I gave that to my daughter and son-in-law as a wedding gift. All they had to do was pay the back taxes. It couldnāt be transferred until the back taxes were paid. So they paid a couple thousand dollars for taxes. I wouldāve paid them, I just didnāt have the money to do it. My second ex husband didnāt want to pay the taxes on it, but got angry at me for gifting the land to someone who was willing to pay the taxes. That didnāt make sense to me. The taxes were quite a few years behind and was about to be put on the auction list with the county.
I got pregnant at age 17 and my beautiful baby girl was born a month before my 18th birthday. I quit being a wild child and settled down really quick. I ābehavedā myself for many, many years. Until she left for college. Then my life took a different twist. I do not regret the sacrifices I made for my her. She, my grandkids and my son-in-law are the loves of my life ā¤ļø (and, of course, Bobber).
Iām always buying people lunch, Something just moves me to do it. Or borrowing money out that I know Iāll never get back.
Buying things for people when Iām out shopping, because I just happen to be thinking of them at the moment. Or, Iāll see something at the store I think a friend would like.
The bottom line is Iām just a giver. I know what itās like to want or need and not be able to afford it. Iād want somebody to help me if I was down and out.
Iāve started giving my crystal spheres away to people whom are important in my life. Friends/family, even some acquaintances. I get a feeling that somebody needs something. Maybe theyāre struggling with something. Iāll pick out a sphere for them based on the stoneās metaphysical properties and meanings. I donāt believe that crystals can cure a physical condition, but I do like to believe they offer spiritual properties and/or meaning.
These are just a few examples of sacrifices Iāve made for the betterment of all involved. I love making people smile, and a gift always puts a smile on someoneās face. It does me š
