breathe in, breathe out

“We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive in the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.”

“Only the present moment contains life.”

Thích Nhất Hạnh, Peace Is Every Step

lighting a candle

“It’s such a simple thing to light a candle it changes the whole tone of an experience….If I get the lighting right I can change people’s way of thinking. Predispose them to let the experience wash over them.”  — Alice Waters

Love Note from Anjie: Giving and Receiving

giving and receiving

After a few gray rainy days, the sun is back today in NYC. It's chilly, so I'm enjoying the new cashmere scarf-hat-gloves set that I gifted myself. I'm a big fan of treating myself as often as possible. I also love gift-giving. If I find something special, I purchase a few extra so I can give them to friends. I love giving little gifts, just because!

This year I gifted chocolates, many Lunar New Year charms, some of my ceramics, and artwork from two of my gifted Mindful Design graduates. When I make purchases, I not only try to offer gifts that I love myself, but think about who I'm supporting. In addition, this year I did something new - I re-gifted books to my nieces and nephew. I wanted to model for them that gifts don't need to be “new”.

How do you practice giving & receiving?
