Everywhere I go I remember “no judging”. Then there is also the spontaneous “gifting”. Opportunities overflow. Yet, the “no judging” part has been hard. I can´t say that I am doing it 100% because I would be lying. However, I do catch myself either right before, or during the judging.

It is like a game I am constantly playing now. I am so used to judging and giving my opinions that I wasn´t aware of how much I did it. The other day I remember telling myself: “G, it´s not your problem. Don´t get involved. “No judging” remember.” I had to literally get up and leave because I was going to give my cousin a piece of my mind. AAAAAaaaahhhhh! It was nuts! Who am I to judge what other people do or say? Who makes me the wisest of them all?

So, this week I have been angry, sad and happy at myself! Looking back at it, I felt I was acting really weird. I didn´t even recognize myself. But then, since there is no judging… well, it´s just one of those things that happen… and it´s ok 🙂

On the other hand, the gifting part has been AMAZING! The most unusual and rewarding things have happened to me. It´s funny to see how little it takes to open up to people and situations and the outcome is totally unexpected.

Growing up, I remember Dad and Mom were really big on giving and volunteering. They did that constantly. Life in turn was so magnificent to them. They seemed to be lucky all the time. The most awesome things happened to them.

So, I learned early on to give without expecting anything in return. My problem was that I gave so much, that sometimes I didn´t keep anything for myself. Also, it was hard for me to receive.

Just this week, my “sister” reminded me of a time when were teenagers. We saw a mother and a child barefoot on the street. She said that I took my shoes off and gave them to the lady and I made her take off her sandals and give them to the child. I can´t recall that moment at all, but I am sure my mom was not very happy with that 🙂

Now I am aware that receiving is just as important as giving. So, now I am open to receive. When I´m offered something, I take it. I say thank you and many times offer a hug! Funny thing is that now I am receiving tenfold. It´s crazy! It´s sooooo much fun!!! It´s like a constant gifting party. I love it!
