One of the often overlooked parts of living a holistic lifestyle is the ability to give to others.  I always used to say that the only thing I could offer to others is a gift of appreciation and love.  And, as we do this, our own prosperity in our lives grows.  We feel better about ourselves and our lives in general.  I’m not talking about charity cases, I’m talking about showing generosity and a level of thanks to those around you.

Of course, there are several ways that we can do this.  One of the best excuses for this; however, is through the use of holidays.  This opens you up to an invitation to let others know you are thankful they are around, and also helps you to feel a little bit better about your own life by giving to them.

So, with the holidays never stopping is the best excuse for a gift for someone else through Mother’s Day.  Now, I’ll be straight with you about this holiday.  Some of you may be thinking of your mother in a certain light, which is good and healthy.  I’m not talking about the normal, everyday mother…even though it is good to show your appreciation to her as well.  But, others that are like a mother or who have children can also be shown that you appreciate and respect them.

If you don’t know what to do, then look into something that will constantly remind them of who they are.  One of my favorite gifts are candles that can be used for years to come.  This works as a constant that can be enjoyed all the time.  If you want to look into some well - defined candles, you can go to Diamond Creek Candles. [http://www.diamondcreekcandles.com/reps/ethurst2.php]  This area offers all natural candles with soy and paraffin as a main staple.  This is combined with intricate designs and all natural smells that are better then almost any other in the business.

So, start preparing to spread the love now, and let your mother - or others that you are close to - know that you appreciate them and that you are thankful for your relationship with them.
Here’s to your health!
