As we come out of the holiday season, full of the spirit of giving, it is important to remember not always is the most important gift one that you can touch:

To Love is to give of yourself, freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of kindness. Greet each day with the expectation that it is going to be a GREAT day and that you are the driving loving force behind making it happen.
Before committing to a relationship, ask not what the other person will be able to give you but ask what you are able to give to them. The secret formula for a happy, lifelong loving relationship is to always focus on what you can give instead of take.

Putting your partner's needs before yours even if at times he or she doesn't is unconditional giving. For those who have yet to find or experience this kind of love, you have to take those steps to love 1st. For love to find you, you have to open your heart to accept the love that is offered to you even if it comes from someone you might not think would be right for you. Love sees no color or religion or national origin. Accepting love unconditionally is as important as giving. Then you can look at yourself and know you have done your unselfish best, that love will come back to you 10 fold.

The love you Give is the love you reap!!
