Sacrifices? A lot. And Dang Proud If It.

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. That’s 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. I’ve 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 couldn’t be transferred until the back taxes were paid. So they paid a couple thousand dollars for taxes. I would’ve paid them, I just didn’t have the money to do it. My second ex husband didn’t 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 didn’t 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 ā€œbehavedā€ 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).

I’m always buying people lunch, Something just moves me to do it. Or borrowing money out that I know I’ll never get back.

Buying things for people when I’m out shopping, because I just happen to be thinking of them at the moment. Or, I’ll see something at the store I think a friend would like.

The bottom line is I’m just a giver. I know what it’s like to want or need and not be able to afford it. I’d want somebody to help me if I was down and out.

I’ve 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 they’re struggling with something. I’ll pick out a sphere for them based on the stone’s metaphysical properties and meanings. I don’t 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 I’ve made for the betterment of all involved. I love making people smile, and a gift always puts a smile on someone’s face. It does me 😊
