The Best Gift Sandra Ever Gave 

You know I love giving gifts. If I think about one of the most favorite gifts I’ve ever given, I think what pops up for me is the year I gave a box of candles. It was a box of 12 different candles, and they were all labeled. They were labeled believe, hope, courage, and inspire. You get the track of what I’m saying. I love it because I felt like I was giving a gift for a whole year. It was 12 candles. I remember saying, “whenever you need a dose of inspiration, whatever that is, you can open this box. You’ll be able to find it and light it.” It came with a little plate that you sat the candle on with a little pair of tweezers. Inside was a charm and as the candle burned you could get to the charm and keep it as a reminder of what you were searching for that day.

What I loved most, was that my girlfriend told me she was having one of those days where she felt like nothing was going right. She wanted as much good joojoo as she could get. She took all the candles out and she placed them all around her room. Then she lit them, got in her favorite chair with her favorite blanket and watched the candles flickering and receiving. It makes me teary eyed thinking about it. Giving her the gift of receiving all that the world could give her. How meaningful that was. It helped her get through an otherwise very dark time. The light got her through this dark time and, um, yeah, that’s the favorite gift I think I’ve ever given someone.
