Interviews with BABES "The Gift of Giving" continued

Jeannine
The best gift I ever received was … one gift does not come to mind. When I think of what warms my heart the most, though-for that, to me, are gifts-there's much that comes to mind. ...

Earlier today, my sons and I leaned up against each other, each reading a book of our own choice, playing a couple of board games together, an unexpected hug. I think of the many times that we have cuddled together, watching a movie or sitting by the fire.

Nicole's fiery loyal way of defending me has warmed my heart. I couldn't care less if someone giggles at my raucous or overly animated dancing, yet if Nicole is there, watch out if you appear to ridicule me. She has displayed a touching way of coming to my defense.

Recently, when I was disappointed about the poor turn-out to the fundraiser I organized, my sons' daddy, a friend, helped to place my disappointment into perspective. He reminded me that it's about quality not quantity, and there is often a ripple effect.

I think of Linda, who knows about my many faceted sides and is always such a loving friend.

Material gifts often fade away, but what means the most to me are the memories of emotions that left an imprint. That cannot be taken away.

The best gift I ever gave was … I hope it's to have touched someone's heart in a positive or inspiring way.

Entrevistas con BABES "El regalo de dar" continuado

Jeannine
El mejor regalo que recibí era ... un regalo no viene importar. Cuando pienso en qué calienta mi corazón más, aunque-para mí éstos son los regalos-muchas que vienen importar

Hoy anterior, mis hijos y yo se inclinaron para arriba cara a cara, cada uno leyendo un libro de nuestro propia opción, jugando un par de los juegos de tablero junto, un abrazo inesperado. Pienso en los muchos tiempos que nos abrazábamos, mirando una película o sentándose por el fuego.

La manera ardiente leal en que Nicole me ha defendido ha calentado mi corazón. No podría cuidar menos si alguien ríe nerviosamente en mi bailar loco o excesivamente animado, pero si Nicole está allí, mira si usted aparece poner en ridículome. Ella ha exhibido una manera conmovedora de venir a mi defense.

Recientemente, cuando estaba decepcionada sobre el séquito pobre al evento de caridad que organizaba, el papá de mis hijos, un amigo, me ayudó a poner mi decepción en perspectiva. Él me recordó que vale más la caridad que la cantidad, y hay a menudo un efecto de la ondulación.

Pienso en Linda, que sabe sobre mis muchos lados tallados y es siempre una amiga tan cariñosa.

Los regalos materiales se descoloran a menudo lejos, pero qué medios el la mayoría a mí son las memorias de las emociones que hacen una impresión. Éso no puede ser quitada.

El mejor regalo que di era ... Espero que deba haber tocado a alguien corazón en un positivo o una manera inspirante.
